Economy Is Improving

[Harrekin]

Awesome
Because Even Revised down our Growth rate is 2% and we are Not going up in unemployment. Since there has been job growth for the last 16 months
and on top of that

Our Bond rating isnt rated JUNK Like your countries

Read my post again, the edited part stating we grew 1.7% with austerity and you's only grew by 1% even after massive stimulus packages.

Our Massive stimulus Plan was mostly tax cuts and Loans that got repaid back

and guess what mister stone thrower
Even with your countries cuts and giving money to people not working

Your bond status is JUNK

Again if you think the status put on our bonds by a ratings agency has anything to do with how the country is on the ground then you're an even bigger fool than I originally thought.

I'll just enjoy my job (which if I lose I won't be homeless, or even broke for that matter), my family will enjoy our world class education system and free third level education. I'll also enjoy our free health system, where only GP visits are paid for.

But mine is the junk country Enjoy your Patriot Act, useless schools, ineffectual Government, costly health service and pathetic unemployment benefits and keep thinking your on top.

 

[dukeanthony]

But mine is the junk country .

Yes it is
Enjoy your economy
You guys are really close to looking like Greece soon

Oh Yeah and thanks for helping bring down the Eurozone

Enjoy your Countries JUNK status and remember that next time you throw stones

When I flew to Dublin in early November, the Irish government was busy helping the Irish people come to terms with their loss. It had been two years since a handful of Irish politicians and bankers decided to guarantee all the debts of the country’s biggest banks, but the people were only now getting their minds around what that meant for them. The numbers were breathtaking. A single bank, Anglo Irish, which, two years before, the Irish government had claimed was merely suffering from a “liquidity problem,” faced losses of up to 34 billion euros. To get some sense of how “34 billion euros” sounds to Irish ears, an American thinking in dollars needs to multiply it by roughly one hundred: $3.4 trillion. And that was for a single bank. As the sum total of loans made by Anglo Irish, most of it to Irish property developers, was only 72 billion euros, the bank had lost nearly half of every dollar it invested

YOUR COUNTRIES ENTIRE ECONOMY IS MCFUCKED

You haven't a clue dude, that's all been resolved. We can pay our debts and currently are...guess another copy/paste from you missed that too. Growth of 1.7% compared to a Eurozone average of 0.25%?!

That's us taking down the Eurozone alright

You haven't a clue what you're talking about dude, ever by the looks of it.

Care to provide a link for the 2% growth? Do you understand that Federal Spending is the only reason it's so high, as reduced consumer demand actually lowered it? Do you realise that your level of growth is propped up by Government spending which is fuelled by borrowing? Do you also understand that our 1.7% was achieved not with stimulus but during austerity?

Do you understand any of this?

Do you understand that in 3 years we won't need any borrowing cos we'll have a balanced budget? Can you say the same about the US?

Can you compare the standard of living or the social security differences? Keep being stupidly patriotic if that makes you feel better, we're fixing our problems, not kicking the can like you's.

Got to start some where
I took a 5 dollar an hour pay cut when i got laid off A year later And 3 jobs I now make more than I lost
You have no right to bitch about the unemployment rate when you would rather stay at home and cry on the internet rather than look for a job

1 euro=$1.35 NOT $10. dummy

 

[dukeanthony]

1 euro=$1.35 NOT $10. dummy

Thats not what he was saying
For an idea Look here for per capita Debt
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_external_debt

irelands per capita debt is 519,070 dollars per person
Their debt ratio is 1165% of GDP

Compared to
99% GDP to debt for the USA and 47,568 dollars per person

So when Harrekin McAssclown Starts talking about how bad the USA has it
he fails to recognize
Ireland is totally McFucked

The situation you seem to realise is that our total national debt is only €117 billion. Wiki-fail there dude.

External debt doesn't count for shit in this discussion, it's a measure of ALL debt, public and private (people and corporations private debt, not just citizens).

 

[canniboss]

Ever think that perhaps the entire financial system was broken even before it began? Ever think that any country associated with the "world economy" and corporate greed is headed for ruin? You can't be rich while your neighbors are poor.
My dick really is much bigger than yours though.

The US debt load is the highest of any country in the world at $15.1 trillion, nearly double that of the next highest debtor, the UK, with 8 trillion.


You need to find a different McJob, it is affecting your speech.

comes out to 48k a person
irelands comes out to 500k per person

Want to make another Point?
USA's debt = 99% of GDP (less than switzerland)
irelands debt = 1165% of GDP

Ireland is part of the EU, the EU has less debt and less than half the per capita debt as the USA. Stick that in your pipe and smoke it. Obviously someone doesn't understand what the EU is.
