Greece elections- Man who promises the most from the public treasury will win

[Fern]

Americans need to shut the hell up about Greece. You clowns give 19 billion for some wankish texting app when Airbus spent 15 billion to develop the largest commercial aircraft. YOU ARE COMPLETELY UNQUALIFIED TO DISCUSS ECONOMICS!

OK, I'm curious, what are you referring to when you say "some wankish texting app"?

TIA

BTW: Am looking forward to visiting your country if/when you drop out of the Euro. No offense meant, but I am expecting it to be good value for the money.

Apple and Microsoft both have bigger piles of cash than the UK Treasury, a report has revealed. The figures, calculated by the US Trust, show that several companies have more money to spend than the UK does.

Apple has the largest cash reserves, with £95bn, far greater than the cash held by Malaysia, Turkey or Poland.

Nah. I've vacationed in countries (Croatia etc.) with currency problems. I enjoy sitting down at a seaside restaurant and having a 3 course meal with swordfish and drinks for about $3.50 (or 350,000,000 in their currency).

Doesn't the poorest bum in Cambodia have more money than the US treasury?

At some point, they will realize how fucked they are, and start cannibalizing, kidnapping, etc.

You may become the meal.

Since everyone here is in better financial shape than Greece (which didn't design or build the airbuss), it seems to me we're well qualified to discuss their dismal economic situation.

I doubt it. I've friend who recently moved to Cambodia. It's super cheap. You can live large on just a few bucks.
