Thanks! All you countries still in the "hundreds of billions" debt are WIMPS!

On a more serious note, glad I didn't vote for the clown who's currently in office. IIRC, Ripster wants him back for a second term!

And now printing money for it seems quite hard... Maybe we need bigger bills, and I thought 500€ was a big one(in dimensions ;D)...

The system as a whole is so broken that it really doesn't matter too much who is in office.

Time to take your money out of the bank and buy some silver, gold, and other national currencies. For example:

I don't think that's exactly true (http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-503544_162-4831719-503544.html).

Just buy Italian bonds to offset the stock losses, they're not going anywhere.

You don't really need student loans when there's no tuition fees.

Wow, you have education there? Here we have indoctrination centers that teach you what to think, not how to think.

Then you can graduate with lots of student loans and no jobs and Occupy Wall Street!

I got some 3k€ loan, from which 2000€ sits on hi-intrest account... So yep, maybe I should get some before inflation hits in... You know, free education and social-care is nice...
