Default Ireland - GONE !!!

http://www.nytimes.com/2010/11/23/wo...land.html?_r=1

DUBLIN — The Irish government faced imminent collapse on Monday, only a day after it signed off on a $100 billion bailout, setting the stage for a new election early next year and injecting the threat of political instability into a European financial crisis that already has markets on edge.


...

“It will be the same story with all these countries — Ireland is just ahead of the game,” said Desmond Lachman, a former policy executive from the International Monetary Fund who is now with the American Enterprise Institute in Washington. “They all have a fixed exchange rate and have to make these massive adjustments, so people are asking whether they are on the right path.”

How else do you expect Ireland to pay off its debts?

Now it will just say NWO's Emerald Island, no worries.

Same is happening here. Destroy the nation so they'll welcome the new global governance.

they didn't go bankrupt....they got more loans.

bankruptcy would have been the best for their people. now they took the losses of the private non-irish banks and made the citizens of what was once known as ireland responsible for them.

that's what people don't understand. now they will get these loans they have no ability to repay. when they can't repay they'll keep signing over and more of their rights to keep the financing going to the NWO.

JSAs, what the NWO feeds on.

Quote:
In this interview with the RT, Jim Rogers says what everyone except a few bankers and corrupt (soon to be unemployed) politicians grasp: namely, that Ireland should go bankrupt. Instead, the government is forcing the country into a tough spot, where social tensions are flaring, and could erupt into an all out social conflict, confirming that the interests of its people is the last thing the Irish government cares about, and is only concerned about preserving what is now virtually proven to be a failed model (with even JPM saying so tongue in cheekly), and prevent losses at all major German and English banks. Quote Rogers: "It would teach everybody a good lesson, and in the end Europe would be stronger for it, and the EUR would be stronger... You can not spend staggering amounts of money that you don't have of other people's money that you don't have because somebody has to pay the piper. This is ludicrous. This will cripple the Irish economy for years to come. In the future Ireland will be crippled because everything they earn will go to pay off old debt. There is no reason why taxpayers around Europe or in Ireland should pay for other people's mistakes. The bondholders and the stockholders of banks should lose money"... So simple, yet so irrelevant when dealing with a dying economic model.

Ummm ... a government collapse in Ireland just means they have new elections. The horror.

I don't follow lucky charms, but um, wouldn't they restructure the government in some way instead of just getting new people?
