A Graphic Representation of the European Crisis





 The Bluebird of Happiness Meets the Windmill of Reality


In fairness, it's not a bad representation of the U.S. either.  Happy talk is nice, but until a majority of people are willing to face the truth that government can't give anyone anything it does not take from someone else, our bluebirds will continue to be shredded by the relentless blades of arithmetic.

  1. Ew, that ain't pretty. Just watching the slo-mo train wreck with dread and hope. Great previous post by the way. I'm almost hopeful. After the reset, the good people will still be good and will get on with the business of life. Those who make their living skimming off of the producers may have to pick another line of work. That's not so bad. The analogy of a properly exceuted screen pass play comes to mind.

    Ok, I'm gonna stick my neck out and delay my payday silver purchace until after the Greek elections this weekend. I'm thinking the Euro will suffer because of the elections owing to general negativity about Europe that will be triggered by the elections (somehow). This will strengthen the dollar which will drop PM prices. I'm hoping to save, um, maybe $5 on my purchase versus buying today. Maybe I should start a blog, "Dummies for Silver."

  2. There you go. I keep seeing this bit where Donald Trump is claiming Obama has conspired with the Saudis to lower gas prices. Trump is a genius at self-promotion, but he's clearly not interested in the facts. You can see as the dollar has gained against the euro and the Aussie and Canadian dollars that gas prices have responded by dropping. The same was true for metals, so a good Greek blowup could really save you some. I hope it works that way.

  3. It was most likely a subsidized windmill at that.
