  • @arch37 Please keep your religous shit out of politics. Thank you.

  • There's a new government already here in the hearts of those who believe in Jesus! He's about to return to this planet & start ruling with a government that's just & loving yet strong! Forget these little upstart governments...they are nothing compared to what's coming! Google activated magazine  See issue guide

  • @NFL9475

    I do worry about you since your commercial banks are loaded up with Greek (junk) bonds! Regarding loosing inhabitants. That maybe true but debt to gdp per capita is relatively low comparing with other EU states as well Poland's national debt to gdp, currently is around 55% depending on methodology and if you're including/excluding social security unfunded obligations!

  • @RemiG2006 Germany and Poland lose inhabitants for years... France gain... Don't worry for us. France have money... The French are the world champions for money savings, but dont talk about it, its taboo even in France... But when we REALLY need some money, we know where to catch it. As we say in French "quand il le faut, l'argent sort des murs", because in the past people were hiding money in the walls of their house.

  • The EU is meant to fall.

    You can't finance an empire; always devalues the currency.

    Megalomania is a bitch...

  • Don't screw up France! We have enough problems with dead fish Greece, Ireland, Spain! It is you that needs to to be an engine of Europe's economy alongside with Germany and Poland! We can make it and we will! Ther is no other choice or this whole European experiment will fall like US housing market!

  • Learn from Poles. We had pension reform in 1997. Nobody here lives in illusion that new generation will have guarantied anything by the state in the future. Look what happened in US. The crooks and lairs in Congress, promised 60 mil of baby-bloomers so much, that technically in 2014-2016 social security becomes insolvent. Add to that Mecicare, medicade ... so on and the number balloons to 200 Trillions of unfunded obligations! Question is, when USA inc will start issuing IOUs like California?!
