Re: Greece

It seems that even if 100 % of the Greek debt is canceled, as long as Greece uses the euro, it will never be able to compete with North European countries. Maybe Greece should revert back to its national currency. Same story with weaker EU countries.

Re: Israel

Among the claims of this article is the allegation that Jewish billionaires totally control the US government. This is a very superficial statement. The non-Jews clearly have a lot more money than the Jews and public opinion cannot be bought with money alone at the elections.
