Tax and Spend

Corrupt Ukrainian coupmeisters have blown through $17 billion, so the IMF plans to send $50 billion more. That'll disappear too.

Consequences in Greece.

"In short, Germany has no choice except to let Greece go and to allow the entire EU bailout state to unravel, and then to pay the piper for its statist follies.
The alternative is an all-powerful superstate in Brussels and Frankfurt that will necessarily extinguish whatever remains of political democracy and capitalist prosperity in Europe.
The latter would also permanently bury German taxpayers in other people’s debt. The fiasco in Greece has already proven at least that much."

I hope Greece pulls out.

US steals from ex-patriots.

"In the meantime, the U.S., now in its death throes, is burdened by inconceivable debt that cannot be repaid, an economy supported by a diminishing, asset-stripped middle class, all of which is actively ignored by an incurious, anesthetized population more interested in the size of Kim Kardashian’s ass than in their own privacy.  The behemoth is now thrashing, flailing, doing anything and everything to stay alive, including extorting other nations and its own citizens.  The beast will be come more aggressive and violent as it approaches its final breath."

Good description.

Remember that talk about sequestration cutting spending? It was a lie. Government spending and the deficit are both up dramatically.

IRS apologizes for seizing bank accounts because of bogus structuring laws, says it won't do it again. Please. It will just make the hard drives disappear.
