Germany wants to take control of the Greek budget ?!

[Franzl]

Haven't I suggested Germans and Austrians run budgets in the EU before?

We observe those pesky Geneva conventions.  No wonder we're losing wars.  

The US observes the Geneva conventions? Since when?

[Franzl]

How would we change the rate at which Americans save and invest?

Perhaps step one would be to stop massively promoting consumption.

And stop giving such "easy" credit.

[Franzl]

I was thinking more along the lines of how easily and recklessly a lot of people are given credit cards.

Had the Germans been required to return to a simple, agrarian lifestyle, and been broken into their original several dozen small countries, they would have been much less trouble.

We could have allowed the technical germans like Dr. Stranglelove to emigrate to the US as many of them did anyway.

You do realize you are essentially advocating genocide here, right?

Opebo approves of genocide normally.
