Why the heck should they? What is this, Robbers Incorporated? If I were Greek, indeed a citizen of most western nations, I would not leave it at the hands of my incompetent govt. I work hard for my money and every cent that is in the bank has ...

Greece proposes 15% tax rate for deposits abroad: Varoufakis

How can it be? It's reduced Greece's GDP by over 30% therefore increasing the GDP to debt ratio. The same thing happened to the UK when austerity reduced their GDP. That view was from the economic viewpoint. The humanitarian viewpoint says default ...

Morning View: Holiday Markets and Greece's 'Monetary Asphyxiation'

I don't use canola. It's anathema. I buy non-GMO corn and other organic produce from organic grocers. I can tell you organic certainly tastes better in all instances. Western Australia always wanted to secede from AU. Maybe they should and take ...

Greece needs a second election

I tend to agree with this. Their incompetence will be enhanced a thousandfold by using computers, yet they will blame the computer when chaos ensures.

After 23 years of economic growth, the RBA wants to take humans out of monetary policy...

HAHAHA!!!! They're not elected! No-one elected those parasite weasel looking vampire squids to govern anybody. The EU needs total disbandment and compensation paid to the countries it has systematically destroyed by its failed polices and utter ...

Greece needs a second election

Oh yes, I didn't say productivity was high, in fact I previously said it's hard to compete productivity wise with automated engineering processing. However that does not make them lazy. As for corruption, you'd be nice enough to post your data as I ...

PM: Greece will not accept 'humiliating' bailout terms

Precisely. The Germans would spread the propaganda that Greeks are lazy and corrupt when it is the other way around. I've presented the official stats here before that Greeks work the longest hours in Europe and 2nd longest in the OECD and they pay ...

PM: Greece will not accept 'humiliating' bailout terms

The beastly Hun is quite corrupt yet they preach to the others about being corrupt. What frigging nerve they have, huh? My experience in my 1 and only 1 trip there was when I returned home and opened up my box of Adidas runners, they were different ...

PM: Greece will not accept 'humiliating' bailout terms

Nice chat you guys are having. The creature above you mentioned does not pay taxes and I myself do not want to and that's just that. More later bankster!

Greek Talks Break Up in Riga as Earlier Optimism Evaporates

This bloke may sound good but I put it out there he may not be what we think he is and in fact neither may all the other members of his party and it's not just Greece that has these types. I'll leave you all to do your own investigating.

A Finance Minister Fit for a Greek Tragedy?

That's precisely what they've done with the usual cunning and treachery I'd expect from realpolitikos. The bail out is not for Greece, it is for banks which made, not silly or stupid, but rather crafty and calculating loans to Greece. They made the ...

Defiant Greeks force Europe to negotiating table as time-bomb ticks

I would say both. All of the EU is run like this. Definitely the previous Greek govts. were gangsters and so were the bankers. This new govt. I don't know enough about, but definitely the bankers are still gangsters. I tend to use bankers/banksters ...

Greece says it will default in June without aid from lenders

Yes, but the Germans learnt from hard lessons in the 20s and 30s of the Wiemar Republic. Why should they spend the money they have worked and paid tax upon tax on? Also, I'd like to know where this negative interest rate/spend, spend, spend ...

The ECB Just Shot Back at Germans Who Say Low Rates Are Robbing Savers

Good! It's time the old communist-socialist guard got a kick in the guts. Look at what an unmitigated catastrophe the EU is. The EU has done almost wartime damage to Europe without the death toll and property damage of bullets and bombs. Negative ...

ECB's Coeure says short-term rate below zero doesn't pose policy problem

Do they, don't they? Shall they, shan't they? Will they, won't they? I'd like to have some of what the Europeans are drinking or are they smoking it?

The ECB would not cut ELA support to Greece if it misses an IMF payment

Thanks for the info. This is almost the fate of all small nations including AU. Is there a nation more grovelling towards the USA than AU? At least Europeans put out some protests.

Greece's Turn to Resist a Referendum

I thought Greek GDP was reduced by about 25% due to troika policies but I saw briefly somewhere today those unelected incompetent criminal's policies have reduced Greek GDP by 30%. How do you stop this madness? Dealing with the beastly Hun, even in ...

Greece's Turn to Resist a Referendum

The problem may be due to the massive boom we had which put cash in people's pockets and Aussies traditionally love property. This is exacerbated by many foreigners, usually Chinese, doing the same thing with Aussie property - just buying it up. All ...

RBA Lowe: still have scope to lower rates if needed

I too live here and I don't see any of this. I see economic growth, albeit slower than before. I live in Victoria though, things may be different elsewhere in AU.

RBA Lowe: still have scope to lower rates if needed

I really couldn't care less what most banks say. If that's the case then let them initiate sell orders but they probably want us to do that so they can buy.
