DO ANY OF THE EUROCRATS HAVE A PLAN THAT DOES NOT INVOLVE PREDICTING GROWTH & EXPRESSING DISAPPOINTMENT?

Is exposing other nations taxpayers to risk going to cause interest rates on their own bonds to rise? Will investors want to invest?

If everyone wants a cash collateral deal, will they be using the cash collateral as part of the bailout fund?

Slimfairview Slim Fairview

If Greece hangs on 2 the cash collateral, wouldn't they need a smaller loan & thus have 2 pay less interest. Or is the bailout no-interest?

Slimfairview Slim Fairview

Let me see. If Greece gives cash collateral for a loan, wouldn't that increase the difficulty of repaying the loan?

I have a new strategy for the EuroCrats. Next time you come up with a plan...read it out loud. Hear how it sounds. Then think it through!

Meanwhile, manufacturing, the fuel of the economic engines, is down due to bleak outlook. I don't make this stuff up, folks. Read the WSJ:

WSJ: Markets up because economy gets worse. Investors are optimistic that if economy gets worse, someone will jump in to make it better.

When everyone around you feels the earthquake and you don't, does that mean you are too focused on what you're doing? Slim

As the EuroCrisis gets worse, I must ask, Do you get your advice from American Politicians, or American Talk Show Television?

To the EuroCrats: Call me a flawed human being, but I suspect that the plan you have for Greece is not working.
