I'm angry, angry enough to type a blog about it. If you haven't already heard Ireland is getting a massive (billionssz of euros) bail out by some money loaning thingy in Europe and It'll will financially crush me, my kids and my kids' kids till the end of time.
The worst part is the government STILL refuses to accept that we need help and is giving the riddled-est answers of the century. Not stating facts about whats the plan going forward or even where we stand RIGHT NOW!
goddam it..... *sigh* its so maddening with no-one person to blame.
Bankers give tons of stupid loans nobody will pay, give themselves big bonuses, bank goes kapow, gets bailed out by taxpayers money, gg us, trollface bankers.

Hahaha - I lol'd Sadly enough there was not a false word in the above statement
Sounds quite similar to what has happened in the United States and indeed all over the globe: governments subsidize banks to allow/encourage them to make financially unsound loans to people that likely cannot repay them. Here it was under the guise of "every American should be able to own a home."
Governments cannot truly create jobs, they cannot truly create wealth, yet they consistently act as if they can do both. Faulty notions of the purpose of government will sink this world, potentially in our lifetime.

Politically Ireland is a very young country, we haven't even been a republic for 100 years so the politcal parties still don't really know how to run a country, there's two main political parties who have no real idealogical difference, the only real difference is one has been in power for longer so are significantly more corrupt. Ireland is still quite a small country so getting voted in is purely a case of who you know and networking, the people mostly in government have absolutely no idea what to do or even what went wrong, our minister for finance is a barrister, our minister for science probably can't spell science, our last and current minister for education know nothing about education so are consistently dumbing down the education system so soon we won't have any capable graduates anymore.... as Kent Brockman says, "things are only going to get worse before they get better."

Honestly, I think I would prefer the alcoholics and cancer patients. Our "real politicians" have been sucking pretty god damn hard for the past 10 years. I miss Clinton...

Haha, I'm of the opinion that a "real politician" is one of the worst things on Earth!
I know everything about Irish economy by the number of summer students in the US. 6 years ago Ireland was doing great, this year it was in shambles apparently. It's all good, gives a boost to the US economy.
