Yeah, that's why the "solutions" to the problems of the eurozone aren't actually.

The EU left doesn't get economics and the EU right doesn't get democracy. It's rather depressing.

(I guess you could make the reverse case as well though, to be picky)

Neo-liberalism is not a natural law, Gustaf.

Would you like a pat on the head?

Sure, gustaf, if you can't refute my point, that'll be the next best thing.

Your reading comprehension seems to be very poor, Gustaf.  Your claim that the left 'doesn't understand economics' is dubious, because after all they may simply prefer other economic arrangements than the dominant one that you seem to love, which has caused the economic crisis in Europe and throughout the world, and which I mentioned by name above.

Oh no, I got that. I can thus only refer to my above comments.

Many of the 'solutions' imposed so far have made things worse already, so... yeah...

Yes, you have no argument, so you misbehave, and petulantly too!  Did you also sigh and roll your eyes when you were in those bad bad dum professor's classes that you were so much smarter than?  Maybe a girl saw you and realized how smart you were!  That would be even better than another pimply prick applauding you on this sausage-forum.  But basically the same..

Well what are the chances that Mario Monti has the 'guts' to take Italy back to its own sovereign money? 0.2%? I suppose the first step would be to announce temporary capital controls, say on a Friday night, followed by the final announcement by Sunday night.

I have nothing to argue against.

And you're beginning to froth at the mouth with all this delight over your cute taunts. It's hardly becoming of a gentleman of your education.

I think impressing a girl in my class with my smarts is certainly better than posting myself into the comedy goldmine to impress the "pimply pricks" on the Atlas. But then again, that's just me .

Actually I normally put my posts in there manually when I'm afraid they might get deleted by the hitlers, but touché.
