The USA weren't in the FIrst World War for starters

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.

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.

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

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.

ah hum, recheck your history books, u.s. entered WW1 in 1917

NO they can print money when they want it

Actually, the U.S. Federal Reserve Bank, despite having the name 'Federal', is actually a PRIVATE Bank-- the U.S. has to borrow (at interest) to have its own currency printed!
