Because Capitalism causes the steady improvement of the lives of the poor. Any form of socialism hinders this progress, creates inefficiencies, and increases cronyism.

I have never read anything that hypothesized that poor Greece tried to leave the Euro but mean Europe made them borrow and keep overspending. Why would Greece ever choose to leave their sugar momma? The politicians in Greece scapegoated other countries to cover their failed socialist policies. Greece is going to have a hard reality when they aren't propped up by stable, fiscally responsible countries.

They cannot devalue the Euro any further. Real economics is not a laboratory so politically simple answers like devalue their currency does not work. Switzerland has already caught into the game and other countries would equally meet the Euro in devaluing their currency if it were so simple.

How does asking Greece to stop spending so much encourage them to spend more? They explicitly signed onto fiscal responsibility when they joined the Euro. The Euro has clear deficit thresholds which Greece violated.

Let's get something else straight. Greece is not a victim for Germany borrowing them money to save the Euro. Germany probably makes very little export sales to dead broke Greece already and Greece continues to hold Germany's fiscally responsible currency in a choke hold demanding more money

Oh really? I thought that's exactly how borrowing worked regardless of Greece somehow being coerced into not meeting their huge payroll: 1. Person borrows money 2. The person giving the money sets terms and conditions on how the money is used and when it is paid back.

Greece is incapable of realizing that their form of socialism has not worked. They need free market reforms and a reduction in government. Even if they leave the Euro they cannot devalue their currency enough to fix their problems. Ask the Weimar Republic. I can't believe ninety year old failed policies are coming back into vogue. At least Germany remembers.

There is no more tax to be collected. Greece has suffered a liquidity drain because they aren't trusted to control their finances. Increased taxes on a dead economy only creates more inefficiencies, black markets, and lost revenue. Greece has only one option. Stop spending. Cancel pensions, eliminate most the government employees, enact free market liberalization. Greece won't do this so mommy Germany is going to have to finally cut their losses and shut off the trust fund.

So I've heard that the Greeks haven't enjoyed austerity. What they really don't like isn't austerity, it's living within their means. I hope Germany finally cuts out it's problem child. No economist in the world can save Greece from itself. Greece can't save itself from stopping austerity. That's like blaming your doctor for telling you to stop drinking with liver psoriasis. There are good and bad economists. Bad economists think they can control or even foresee the economy. A good economist whispers in the government's ear that they aren't immortal and can't fight market theory.

I was a law abiding citizen walking down the road. A police officer stopped me, frisked me, and denigrated me with no justification. Examples like that are why law abiding people have a fear of the police.

Unfortunately I feel your good idea would not be used to separate the legitimate need to enforce the speed laws compared to finding a way to raise more revenue. They'd probably keep the same amount of police officers and then raise another speeding department. Thus contributing to added expense and bureaucracy and forcing the speed department to justify their positions with increased ticketing.

Didn't you hear? Highway police officers have been transferred to state revenue agencies to better streamline their work. It's paying off big time. The millions of dollars they are raking in is almost paying for their pensions.

Mathematical question: if everyone drove 150 miles per hour in the same direction at what point would they collide? I'd suggest that the likelihood of an accident is higher from a driver not adapting to the speed of traffic than someone just speeding.

Omg, upmod pls.

That's not the argument of most police associations. If it were then they'd be for the expansion of gun rights. They want to be the only protection in town and if they can't help you then tough luck.

The police officer setting up the speed trap already caused that traffic congestion, the app would stop people from hard breaking the second they saw the police officer with his radar gun.

International corporate tax treaties should put the tax rate at zero. Corporate taxes are a hidden tax on everything we buy or use.

How much does this plan help to reduce a extrapolated increase in the temperature of the planet vs how much will it cost the economy? I think we all know this plan by President Obama will not affect the climate but it will hurt Americans.
