So we got that to look forward to.
This picture is missing private sector debt. Seriously, who would have loaned any Greek citizens much of anything over the past several years? Not many financial institutions, which is why the Europeans and IMF backed the Greek government and central bank.....
AND
Even when you just calculate the net public debt per capita, the average US citizen has TWICE the GOVERNMENT debt that the average Greek citizen does.

It is all about the perceived ability to repay. In essence, global financial leaders are saying to Greece: you are lousy debt slaves.
What does that say of Americans (or Canadians) with twice the amount of Government debt per capita? Noodle on that for a bit.....

And yet, which presidential candidate has a plan to address our growing debt?
Good point indeed ! How many people will actually make that a priority or will even give the debt a thought, especially when the treasury says it's a mute issue.

Any financial adviser will tell you debt is the devil.
If you've never looked the advise of Dave Ramsey, I'd recommend it.
To all you kids, you will never get ahead with all that weight around your neck.

What a joke. Sanders will do here what the socialist did in Greece. More debt, more spending, more free stuff.
It's worked so well in Chicago, LA, Detroit ETC...
Truth is the Dem party is too in bed with the rich elites in CA and NY and will never let a true Socialist run who is serious about taxing the rich at 90% like Sanders or Warren would. They'll put Biden up before they let that happen.
Or say....Greece?
Good Lord...
My response would be more like...."Care to explain why"? In fact let me just ask that question...............
Tibs,
........why?

Because the country needs a fresh perspective from the usual dem/rep solutions. Looks like I'm not the only one who feels this way..

Bernie Sanders Annihilates Scott Walker At Record Setting Madison Rally
http://www.politicususa.com/2015/07/01/bernie-sanders-annihilates-scott-walker-record-setting-wisconsin-rally.html
Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders spoke before the largest crowd drawn by any candidate in 2016 and used his platform to completely annihilate Republican Gov. Scott Walker in his own backyard.
Sanders announced at the beginning of his speech that they drew the most people to a rally of any candidate this year.Sanders responded to Wisconsin Republicans who called him an extremist, “Let me just say a few words to my friends in the Republican Party about extremism. When you deny the right of workers to come together in collective bargaining that’s extremism. When you tell a woman that she can not control her own body, that’s extremism. When you think a woman is a child and can’t purchase a contraceptive, that is extremism. When you give tax breaks to billionaires and refuse to raise the minimum wage, that’s extremism.”

Tibs said:
Bernie? hahaha
92% of Democrats are comfortable voting for Hillary.
Ninety-two percent.
That's how many Democrats and Democratic-leaning independents said they could see themselves supporting Hillary Clinton for the party's nomination in 2016, a stark sign of how little genuine resistance there is within the party to the idea of the former secretary of state as the nominee.

Ok, now I get the "Good Lord" response......have you not seen what socialism just accomplished in Greece, Venezuela, etc?
And the article......"annihilates"? Umm, yeah, okay. I always assumed that there had to be at least 2 people involved in any contest where an "annihilation" could take place.
Hey everyone.....I just annihilated Mike Tyson!
No, no, they just didn't do it right. We have the "smart" people who went to the "right" schools.
Here's what happens when those "smart" people reign for too long.
Puerto Rico’s progressive policies are not a coincidence. President Franklin Roosevelt appointed Rexford Tugwell, one of his most progressive lieutenants, governor of Puerto Rico in 1941. Now in a depression and a debt crisis, Puerto Rico serves as a warning against the very policies that Tugwell championed.

True, however 92% of Democrats would vote for Bernie too if he were the nominee.

More importantly, Vis will have a front row seat if Greece dumps the Euro

What the Greek crisis means for tourists
Prices in resort islands such as Crete and Corfu are down by more than 13% this year anyway - which means a meal in Crete with drinks will be almost £6 cheaper, and a bottle of suncream will be £3.32 less than it was last year.

"The most important thing to remember is that tourist businesses are privately owned companies that have nothing to do with the government and the public sector."

That's a fresh perspective? Sounds like typical simplistic liberal drivel to me.

besides that suitcase of cash, Tibs - maybe bring along some sacks of sugar,
Sugar, flour, rice: panicked Greeks stock up on essentials
Greeks were hoarding cash and food Saturday amid mounting fears the economy could collapse, cracking open their wallets only to stock up on essentials and stripping supermarket shelves in the process

Turns out Tibs has become a master baiter and we're a school of flounder. Shame I remembered him as kinda cool.
