Link of the day

"...social programs that weren't investments, they were wish fulfillments."


Or why socialism fails again and again.

Thanks for the link! I'm learning more about the Irish crisis. As I understand it (marginally), the Irish had a housing bubble similar to ours, but when theirs popped, they nationalized their banks. Now the debt of the banks is the debt of the nation. They still have the Domino Effect as a trump card, but that will only last so long. Those Dominos - Portugal, Spain and Italy - are all doomed to fall no matter what happens to Ireland.
