As the European Union looks set to expand, including other countries like Turkey, we try to explore the whole political events in the Euroland and also other non European countries like the USSR.


Anything European politics, could be about Chirac or Berlisconi or Tony Blair. Keep it European. America has had its fair share of the lime light. Time for the rest of the world. Lets start with Europe.

I'm hoping LaPen wins the next presidential election in France.

I look forward to the day when Britain gets the Euro.

Why? The pound is better than the Euro. England would be propping up currency on the continent at its own expense.

We are a rich Country, we can lose a few pounds.

Why dont keep it small? Why expand, exploit? If the answer is that wi always want to get richer in a material way. Then you can hand over the red button immedatiely, I would SO press it!

As an American, I have to say.. FUCK THE EURO AND FUCK THE POUND.

The rate of exchange doesn't work out in my favor. That is all. Thank you.

Our dollar would be a lot stronger if we would quit all the outsourcing and quit sending all of our hard earned dollars to the middleeast

You cant stop outsourcing without hurting the economy worse. We need ot just tighten up the spending on frivilous social programs and the public school system.

I dont know what you mean by the mid east, oil? We get most of our oil from south America.

We are spending billions right now trying to create a peaceful atmosphere in Iraq and Afghanistan. Fuck the oil. Fuck ALL oil. We have the means right now to break free of that nasty habit. But the general public will never do it unless a cost effective way is found to replace it.

We can easily stop outsourcing. It would hurt our economy right at first but overall it would be very beneficial.

We do need to stop spending so much money on welfare systems. 3/4's of the people on that shit are just lazy fuckers looking for a handout. Make them work for it. You want food stamps, start shoveling some hot asphalt into some potholes and we will pay you minimum wage dollar vouchers that you can spend on rent, food, and bills. You want more than get into the fucking job market and GET A FUCKING JOB!!!!! Instead of rewarding these fat fucking slobs for having more children start up a population control program and make sure that people cannot just pop kids out that they cannot support.

The public school system is a fucking shambles. We need to start over from scratch with that one.

you cant stop outsourcing unless youre willing to control the market, which will just kill it. See the French economy>? Yeah they tried all that too.

I am certainly not suggesting that we make it illegal

I am merely suggesting that corporations be given subsidies and tax breaks when operating inside of the United States. It would promote home grown dollars

ah, ok I might be on board with that. Tax breaks and benefits to keeping the work here is better than trying to just make it illegal for them to operate by going overseas.

keeps the cash out of european hands

I'd have to disagree with that. Europe seems to have the most stable economic growth and is also a center of trade (like the Netherlands and Norway) due to its sea routes to the US as well as land routes through Asia.

SCARY PART: If European Superpowers grow unrivaled, some person of power might get ambitious and ...

please tell me youre joking... most stable economic growth? Europe?

Most of Europe has double digit unemployment, and they tax the shit out of everything.

lol europe and stable economic growth can't be used in the same sentence like that.
