Maybe he meant Cypress Hill they were kinda gansta back in the 90's
It ain't gonna happen. The US is the world's reserve currency the euro isn't. We are not an offshore tax haven for Russian mobsters. We have the best military in the world. We have a printing press run by Bubble Ben. I think we just about covered it. Oh and because our dollar is worth shiate for the last few years our exports are up and our economy is slowly improving.
Cyprus is a joke. They bet big on Greek debt. Both countries have people that are known as the laziest in Europe.
One thing I think I read about recently was "renominating the currency" (I think that was the term that was used?), to shave off one zero from the dollar supply -- so for example, $100 would be renominated as $10, $1,000 becomes $100, $10,000 becomes $1,000, etc.
To add to dweller's post
Our glorious govt. is requiring us to report our savings on our returns starting next year - heard that on Fox News Channel just this morning.
I doubt that, but do you have a source? Not that I really consider Fox News a credible source, but I will let it slide.
If I am wrong, I will buy you a hamburger and offer an apology.
Just fired off an email to the news manager at FNC, we'll see what happens.
I also find this very hard to believe. People are up in arms at the idea of the government requiring standardized background checks when purchasing firearms. I even heard right wing conservative Mark Levin say that this would put mentally ill people in danger because criminals will know they won't have guns, making them easy targets... If the government was really requiring us to report savings on tax returns, this would be blasted in our faces non stop by now.
I'm a conservative, but I also acknowledge that the right is going through great lengths to stir the pot these days. Fox News's attempts to do so surpassed the point of appearing desperate long ago.
We have the same political/economic construct that we started off with in this nations beginning, so, are we going to change it or allow the repeat of the various financial debacles that have been coming down the road since the 1800's. The U.S. isn't Cypress, nor will it ever be like Cypress with regard to the current monetary situation there. That said, we also have some dire problems caused by the casino style risks taken with OUR money. This government saw fit to allow itself to be fleeced, yes, it can only be called an allowance because the federal laws that would have protected us are gone, and their absence was blessed by Bush 1, Clinton, Bush2, and now Obama. I don't look to the rest of the world when I need clues to the future of our well being, although many of the worlds nations are beginning to bleed reserves profusely.
Why are American's so surprised when their government does bad things to them? I thought that most bright people knew about the undemocratic alliance between the wealthiest banks, insurance, and manufacturing corporations and our "elected" leadership. It should be common knowledge by now that the threat we should be worried about is the "unelected" rulers of America, in short, this government can and will do anything it deems necessary to serve that undemocratic relationship. That would be the one thing we have in common with the people of Cypress.
Shifting socialist cntrolled econmoy is going to do anything about debt and its part of what cause greek and cypress problems.bnaks beig too contolled by governamnt and what they invest i there fore is alot of the euroe4pan problems.Mnay have basically collpase the engine of growth;the private setoir wihich govenramnt is dependent on to fund it.

if you think we have cleared out our own "bankster debt" I have some charts for you.
we have literally fixed nothing, even though we have gotten TRILLIONS of dollars into debt, and (allegedly) owe interest on that money.

Oh I agree we haven't cleared anything yet and yet because of those aforementioned strategic advantages we are still the best of the worst. Canada and Australia are the most financially sound G20 countries.
