    Austerity isn't working. Btw nice picture - but I don't support her. Showing my support for Cristina isn't motivated by her looks. If only her opponents could admit she was good looking too rather than collapse into hating everything about her...

    “perhaps they can get her new south Americas friends to invest in spain, or buy her debts..”
    Not going to happen for 2 main reasons:
    1) They already figured out that those TBTF (To Big To Fail) are “zombie” banks/giant blackholes.
    2) Why should you help your competition.

    “Deputy PM Soraya Saenz de Santamaria: rescue or no rescue, that is the question ”

    Deputy PM soraya Saenz de Santamaria knows that they shouldn't and cannot be rescued, but must rescue them on the cost of people (austerity measures) because that's what she (and her friends in the club) are being told to do by the Troika (EU, IMF, Germany). Bail out your banks..ups i mean, bail out “Spain” so they can pay the other zombie banks in Germany, France and many more “bondholders”.

    “Austerity isn't working”

    No it doesn't, sadly the hard working people and those loud mouths who follow their leaders blindly, haven't figured that out yet. There is still to much bread and circus on tv.

    “Btw nice picture ”
    Yeah, she looks very “friendly” and “clueless”.

    “you cant have em both.”

    Ofcourse you can, everything is possible, even the impossible.

    [True, very true ]

    We think Germany is regretting very badly, bailing everybody out,

    In the end, they will be ok, and Germany may well end up broke,

    But is the alternative all worth it,
    A federal Europe, run by faceless autocrats ,In effect one nation,

    It just wont work,

    That's exactly what the German (more the elite) wants..control.. but at the end you are correct, it just won't work at the end. Some know, but don't care.

    “Can we say UK is finished ?”

    Yes, though that's old news..solution? Trick your people (peasants) that WAR is necessary.
    When they (the elite) are in trouble, they take you to war. the poor, the burned out, the frustrated will believe the propaganda and who deares to think for him or her self and question them (the elite), will be silenced.
