U.S. ready to back bigger EU stability fund-official (US Taxpayers to Bail Out Europe)
Reuters ^ | 12/1/2010 | Unattributed

The United States would be ready to support the extension of the European Financial Stability Facility via an extra commitment of money from the International Monetary Fund, a U.S. official told Reuters on Wednesday.

"There are a lot of people talking about that. I think the European Commission has talked about that," said the U.S. official, commenting on enlarging the European stability fund. "It is up to the Europeans. We will certainly support using the IMF in these circumstances."

"There are obviously some severe market problems," said the official, speaking on condition of anonymity.

The IMF, whose biggest single shareholder is the United States, has now contributed 250 billion euros or one third of the EFSF financial rescue mechanism.

Hey. You are being unfair. The $$$$$ is for Sharia.

Didn’t the American public vote for that?

OK, that settles it. I’ve been going Galt as much as possible with my spending. It’s time to do it with my income. They can’t tax what you don’t have.

At least, not yet.

In another time Americans would be revolting in the streets over this headline. Sadly most will not even know we are doing it.

Talk about Taxation without Representation.

That represents about $325 BILLION dollars of Americans' cash stashed away for the Third World and European Socialist states.

Will no one in Congress call out this un-Constitutional travesty? Can someone inform Sarah Palin or Beck?

The IMF has been a huge NWO nose under the tent for years.

Zero accountability, and mostly our money.

Guess Who’s Paying For The Greece Bailout? That’s Right — YOU

Here’s The Market Ticker Guy’s take on it...

“The ultimate problem with bailouts is that everyone seems to think there’s a free lunch. There isn’t. You can rob someone to pay someone else, but you can’t conjure up money from nowhere. But bailouts inherently wind up taxing the people who got robbed in the first place to pay off the people who made the bad bets and lost money. When it comes to bailing out banks it gets even worse due to the leverage involved - the banksters keep the money, including their salary and bonuses, while the people get robbed not only in the form of losses on their so-called “safe” investments but then again when they are taxed to fund the bailout!

There’s nothing like getting stuck up at gunpoint and not only losing the hold-up money but then being taxed a second time to pay for the robbery in which you were victimized!”

Look at how they enslaved the Irish with the Banks debts almost $50,000 per household.

Ireland’s Fate Tied to Doomed Banks

Up to €50 billion—nearly $50,000 for every household in the Emerald Isle.

Read it all to see the lies of the banks and politicians!

http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052748704506404575592360334457040.html

A failed banking sector that Ireland’s government can no longer rescue on its own. Ireland is in the midst of a real estate bust that could trump even the ruinous downturns that turned parts of southern California and Nevada into suburban ghost towns, with home-grown banks stoking it all. Now, those banks are trying to manage catastrophic losses. The Irish government has effectively nationalized the nation’s biggest banks by guaranteeing their debt, which would be akin to the U.S. government taking over Citigroup, Bank of America, J.P. Morgan Chase and Wells Fargo.

That means the Irish government is also on the hook for the losses those banks endure—which have risen far beyond initial estimates, and may have a lot farther to go. So far, the Irish government is obligated to cover losses amounting to 175 percent of Irish GDP

After reading this story, I'm thinking it's actually the other way around. The whole purpose of having a currency stability fund like this is that it enables the "host" organization (the IMF, with the U.S. as its largest contributor) to manipulate the currency of the "recipient" organization (in this case, the entire European Union).

Remember, folks -- when the story of the EU's bailout of Ireland first got legs a few weeks ago, the strongest voices of opposition came from those (including many here on FreeRepublic) who were concerned about the threat to Ireland's sovereignty as a nation.

Perhaps one thing worse than being a taxpayer in one country that is bailing out another . . . is being a taxpayer in the country that is being bailed out.

I love these stories accredited to A. Nony Mous squeakin’ to Rooter’s NOT to tell anyone who they are.

Reuters: “Credibility is Job One” /S

Truth is I believe it, because of the stupidity of it. It’s like a pair of shoes that matches the suit of the Obama administration.
