Austerity Greece


Guardian: Reports that the EU will decide on March 1 if Greece has meet its demands. Lets get real here folks, the EU and in this case we are talking about the Germans want Greece to walk out, they don’t trust the Greeks, the EU has demanded that all the Greek Parties agree to the Austerity plan before the April Elections, thus far the Conservative Party of Greece has balked at this agreement, thus the Greek Parliament could have passed this latest Austerity plan for nothing, it can be argued from the point of view of Germany and the rest of the EU that it would better for Greece to default, then the cancer of Greece would have been cut out, otherwise there is chance that Greece will back in a few months asking for another bailout, then one after that, that's the real future folks.

Obama and the 2013 US Budget


BBC News: Reports on President Obama’s 2013 Budget plan, the Budget at its core would raise taxes on the rich by allowing the Bush 43 taxes to lapse. This is what happens when a President is in the bubble folks and starts to believe his own press statements, the Republicans can NOW define Obama as a extreme tax and spend liberal, the idea of taxing the rich might go down well with the bloated liberal New York Times, but there is one thing that the Oval has forgotten, US Voters want to be rich, what is the point of working hard, making the American Dream if Uncle Sam taxes your money away to spend on welfare, it never ends folks, and there are never enough rich people, its always the Middle Class that take the hit, the Republicans should hammer the Oval over this idea, really define Obama before he can define himself. Also lets recall the rich can NOW create Super Pacs to attack Obama’s class warfare rhetoric.
