Article of Interest: Merkel Makes Sense

Bravo Chancellor Angela Merkel! An excerpt from the Washington Times reveals her common sense:


"In a recent speech, Mrs. Merkel lambasted the bailout mentality gripping Western leaders and lauded financial discipline, balanced budgets and the ethic of thrift that is especially prevalent in Swabia - the German region where she spoke. She said that every Swabian housewife knows the root of this crisis: "You can't keep on living beyond your means ... We are not going to participate in this senseless race for billions. We have to have the courage to swim against the tide." That is not mere rhetoric."

Not surprisingly, she's not very popular with other EU leaders. Of course not, she makes too much sense.

Meanwhile Canadian PM Harper has announced a $4b package for the auto industry. The sad thing about this scam is that Harper probably doesn't believe in it. But to save his job he had to "compromise" with the boobs in the NDP and Liberal parties.

The circle of bailout madness will continue and no leader is willing to step up to put the stick in the spokes to put an end to it.

Meanwhile, in Quebec the union has managed to infiltrate Wal-Mart. If I were Wal-Mart I'd split town. Keep fighting. Unions are an unnecessary modern scourge.

Not surprising given that the lame Quebec Solidaire (a far left, separatist party) managed to get a seat in the last election. Then again, it happened in the Plateau district. A place where old ideas live and die among wannabe intellects, artists and other assortment of groups that keep the birdseed and sandal industry alive.

And the beat...goes...on.

Will the free bourgeoisie rise again?
