What have we left to sell?

[ThomasJ]

Oh, no. The way Irish people talk about America and Americans, you can't get a dime from us! I'd break every fuckin finger of the cunt who cuts a check to Ireland, sorry, but charity begins at home

The yanks can keep their money - comes at too high a price - we would end up like the Brits who are like their lapdogs - blindly follow the US into every war and pay a heavy price.

[john connor]

we owe a huge amount of money to a lot of groups, but the fact is simple, if you owe someone 100 euros it your problem owe them 1000000 thens it there problem. europe cannot allow us to default as it will destroy single currency so we are in fact in a very strong position.
we should tell all these bondholders and crediters what we can afford to reasonably pay. 50% of something is better than 100% of nothing.
sadly our leaders so far have not had the balls to play hard ball
i live in hope

You don't have an army that's up to par, remember, you're neutral-COWARDLY

Lets face it were BROKE!
We are going to have to get HELP from somewhere.
No money from the Autumn on.No money to pay anyone.
We are not going to get help from Europe
Our only hope as I see it is the good 'ol USA again.
Well, they save everybody don't they
World War 1 USA 1 GERMANY 0
World War 2 USA 1 Germany 0
Now that Germany wants to SCREW us economically as they
could not do it militarily its a great chance for the USA to
get the 'Hat trick' against Germany.
Let them use SHANNON as a base for their planes in exchange
for 100 BILLION $ and we will be out of the shit.
Then we can all get back to doing what we all do best.
Think about it,

The USA weren't in the FIrst World War for starters and secondly we don't need their money. Everybody, including Wall St. knows we will default, it's just a matter of when. The sooner the better and we can all start getting on with our lives. The Government will have to tackle spending though and unfortunately I don't think they have the balls to tackle the Public Service,welfare cuts and the cost of Asylum seekers.

Why don't we (as in the Government) print money. Genuine fakes, if you know what I mean. And say nothing.
Just a couple of hundred million, just enough to remove the sting.

Are'nt you confusing million with billion.......a couple of hundred million would be a drop in the ocean.
