Pay off their mountainous debt? Here’s a novel idea: kick all the freeloaders off the gov dole, cut the coporate & individual tax rate, then watch the free market grow/create jobs. You’ll have a GDP in no time. Dumbasses.

I dunno. Sounds like a "risky scheme" to me.

[Pan_Yan]

You are correct. It is from a blog and there is no corroborating evidence. But the fact that you can’t just discount it out of hand is scary enough.

[Pan_Yan]

You and your voodoo economics. What we need is a lockbox. And more stimulus.

[Cyber Liberty]

They could just default if they wanted to go down that road though.

You're a prophet. But then, one doesn't need an abacus to see that one coming....

[dljordan]

Let’s get together and buy a ‘Freeper’ island.

I’m OK with leasing Yosemite, Yellowstone and Grand Canyon to the Disney company, as long as we get adequate royalties.

Ack! Not Disney. They’ll put Ellen Degeneres in charge and have gay months at the national parks. Please, let’s choose to give the lease to the Chinese instead.

This is the formula. It has been used in countless countries and coming here soon. Once the banksters own you, they take everything. Taxes (for those lucky enough to still have jobs) keep increasing, services get cut, law enforcement serves only as revenue collectors for the state and everything goes to service the debt to the globalists.

“...and everything goes to service the debt to the globalists.”

You call them globalists...funny how they were fine when they loaned the money. Now that time has come to pay it back.

It’s just so hard to believe that this could be the fate of the USA. Pillaged by money lenders.

An open letter to Persia:

After 2,500 years, you finally have your chance to take and keep Greek soil. What are you waiting for? Xerxes the XXXXXXXIIVIXXXI awaits.

>I can read Linear A. I just choose not to.

Ah, its all Greek to me..

[ichabod1]

I fear the Greeks, even when they come bearing gifts.

[GOPJ]

Obama prepares the same for us.

Auction off California first...

[b4its2late]

I might buy one!

[Ellendra]

Given the disagreements I’ve seen here, the nation of Freerepublic would probably self-destruct within minutes. But I’d still chip in just for the principle of the thing.

[firebrand]

She wanted them to sell Corfu. LOL

[dfwgator]

Maybe Ellen and Rosie can buy the Island of Lesbos.

Been to the north entrance of Yellowstone lately?
