China is still propping us up but that could change. To say there are
no problems in Europe is just naive. Greece still has not agreed to
the reforms necessary to get their house in order and the population
is rioting in the street over it. They are telling people they will
actually have to pay the taxes necessary to support their expenditures
and pensioners are going to get a pay cut along with all of the
government workers.
We will have riots here when we get there too.

Umm... who said Europe doesn't have problems? Again, there is no melt-down
crisis looming. It's just not the case. Most societies adjust to financial
changes. The riots will not be televised... lol


It really all depends on how well Greece swallows the turd. Germany
will revolt if Greece gets to keep their "generous gifts" and the
Germans have to pay for it.

BTW great Gil Scott Heron reference ;-)

I don't think Greece has much choice really. They've pretty much agreed to
do it.

I was wondering if you'd notice that! I heard that song a few years ago
and it stuck in my head for months... a bit before my time, however!
