Greece Defaults. Our Gruber Posters Strangely Silent.....


If nothing else, I expected them to blame one-or-more of the Bush family. There is an old saw that says something about socialism being wonderful until you run out of other peoples' money. This is exactly the case here, resulting in the first "civilized" country to default on its debt.

So far, barry has only managed a credit downgrade, but he's also engineered regular budget crises and record debt. The downgrade was also a first. Our grubers are also blissfully unaware of the one about repeating an experiment, expecting a different outcome. Delusion, denial and deflection are keys to being a gruber. NEVER let reality impinge.

Ireland is coming out of the austerity having suffered severe problems trying to get our bills paid plus everything else. We never had to pay water charges but now we do, and of course they will rise every year.
How will our children and grandchildren manage. We are usually left with a pittance but the country is looking more prosperous and Greece is going against everything that the EU stands for. Nobody l ikes austerity but a promise is a promise. I hated the last few years but we had to cut down on everythng to survive and we are coming out the other side, I hope.

I would also like to do a little clarification: "voodoo economics" has been attributed to multiple people. If, in fact, it was GHW Bush, it was during his Presidential Campaign against Reagan. BEFORE supply-side economics were proven to work. By Reagan.

Kinda hate the light, huh cockroach?

You grubers are also fond of the "11 tax raises" bluff. Of course, you never say what taxes, when, or the net of the policy with regard to taxes.

Perhaps you need to listen to Fox more. Your set list of lies really doesn't fly around non-grubers.
