Germany wants to take control of the Greek budget ?!

The problem is not this country, or that country, it's a faulty conception of economics that says austerity and other contractionary measures will lead to growth.

this 'conception of economics' didn't emerge in a vacuum.  it dates back to the 70s, when the precedent was set in these situations to privilege creditors over citizens in cases of excessive sovereign debt.  and it continues to today.  the austerity policies are backed by finance capital (and their shill media) with the intent of keeping inflation near zero at all costs, as to not deflate the value of their interest payments.

Whose going to take over our budget after more wreckless spending?

No one. We have our own currency, so we will never be in the position of Greece.

more relevantly, we have the most potent system of organized violence ever known to man, which means universal annihilation would occur prior to the realization of T_W's fantasy.

and I'd like to believe the Mets are the favorites to win the NL East in 2012.

No, the Germans have us bested on that score as well.  

We like to think "We're Number One" in everything, but we're really not.  We're not even Number One in most things.  And fifty years from now, we probably won't be Number One in many things.

lol you're delusional dude.  assuming you're being serious.

so Germany is better at organizing violence than the US.  I guess the use of the progressive tense could lead you to that in a useless fashion.

I guess that's simply an 'angus post' that there's no serious benefit in trying to respond to.
