My Big Fat Greek Debt

I need to make up for The Night Without The Internet, so I'm going to do two posts today. And if I seem incoherent or spacey, just remember: I've been through a harrowing ordeal. My physical and mental scars may never heal. Bear with me.

As everyone knows, the Eurozone is inching ever-closer to complete economic crisis, and recently there has been a new development that could change the course of non-America-related history: Spain's province Catalonia has put forth a motion to secede from Spain (and the Euro). This just proves what everyone has been saying for years: The Euro is dying, and countries will do whatever it takes to get out of it.

Meanwhile, everyone is pissed off at Germany. Yeah, what else is new, right? However, this time it involves good investments and smart monetary management, not genocide. The other nations of Europe are mad at Germany because they have the strongest economy of the Eurozone, and therefore can dictate the policies of other countries. What do you know--- 70 years after WWII, Germany has ended up owning Europe anyway.

In other news, the 2012 jobs reports came in, showing a record low of unemployment-- about 7.8%. The newest report might give Obama a bit of a bump in the polls, which he needs after his dismal debate performance. Romney, of course, says that the unemployment rate dropped because people stopped looking for work and just gave up. I wonder if Romney could have his insurance denied because of a preexisting condition. Namely, 'Being a fantastic asshole'. We should look into that.

Bye!
