Big Business + Big Government = Big Mess

Because a system where Big Business and Big Government make a Big Mess is not capitalism. It’s something else entirely.

Bailouts für jedermann, bitte!

… the source of these demands lies in the fact that bankers got money without working for it. High unemployment and a mal-adjusted economic structure lead to everyone wanting a bailout.

Die prägende Urangst im Wohlfahrtsstaat

When the farmers protest it is not just because they want more money, it is because they are convinced (sometimes even rightly so) that the reason why they are being denied handouts is that they have been given to someone else instead. It is the combination, therefore, of endless government pandering and patronages that has led to the population’s irresponsible attitude towards money and public finance.

Europäer kicken die Blechdose einfach immer weiter die Strasse runter

That’s the trouble with the kick-the-can-down-the-road approach to debt. You end up down the road; and there’s the can!

Komplett falsche Anreize für Banken wie auch für Griechenland & Co.

Holy cow! What kind of advice is this? Just tell the big banks that they won’t be allowed to fail. And don’t forget to tell Greece too. … You might just as well give the key to your liquor cabinet to your alcoholic brother-in-law and introduce your daughter to Dominique Strauss-Kahn.

Was kann Griechenland bieten? Nichts.

Greece, a small country with a small GDP and no oil…whose strategic export is olives…and whose last real military victory was the Battle of Jhelum in 326 BC, in which Alexander the Great defeated an Indian Rajah named Porus. […] If they’d let Greece go broke 3 years ago, the problem would be behind us instead of in front of us.

Die Stunde der Steuerzahler

the State, as a borrower, has a nearly inexhaustible form of collateral: the taxpayer. It’s the taxpayer that guarantees interest payments on government debt will always be met, and principal always repaid.

Der grosse Bruder der Griechen

[Greece:] Unemployment is around 20%. People dodge taxes. Government workers don’t show up for work. Households spend too much. And the government is going into debt so deeply and so rapidly it can’t possibly get out.

Hey… It’s just like the US!

Der Ausverkauf des griechischen Staates hat begonnen

The government will sell 49 percent of the state railroad, list ports and airports on the stock market, and privatize the country’s casinos, the Finance Ministry said after a cabinet meeting in Athens. The government will also sell minority stakes in water utilities serving Athens and Thessaloniki, sell 39 percent of the post office,

Die Frage, die sich bei solch irren Aktionen äusserst rasch stellt: Für was ist der Staat dann noch da? Und für was zahlen wir ihm Steuern, wenn die Privaten angeblich alles besser machen?

Ich bin der vollen Überzeugung, dass nationale, kantonale und kommunale Infrastrukturbauten auf Biegen und Brechen im Besitz des Volkes bleiben müssen und nicht privatisiert werden dürfen.
