Fox News --

Election results in Greece sent tremors throughout Europe as voters punished the parties responsible for highly unpopular austerity measures instituted to prevent the country from defaulting on its massive debts.

The recession will continue and it does not matter what county it will affect. Whatever the size or shape of the vehicle, Produce and ‘Drive’ vehicles with high MPG, are very reliable, have a ‘reasonable’ cost and a good ‘value’ for the money. Consider using other forms of less expensive transportation to lower your cost, if possible. The price of fuel at the pump is too high! 12/22/2012!
JimL1 Champion Author Phoenix Posts:8,206 Points:1,239,570 Joined:Jul 2003	Message Posted: May 7, 2012 11:18:53 AM Ignore JimL1 Report Abuse Do you think that the Tea Party and other Republicans will listen to this warning? I doubt it, so look forward to President Obama and the Democrats sweeping this next election. When Arizona Republicans totally unfunded our future by making those deep cuts in education and the governor sentenced those people who had been promised transplants to death, they sentenced the Arizona Republican party to oblivion. Even the most stubborn people eventually wake up and realize what is going on.

As long as the European countries have unstable economies, expect volatility in the European financial markets and energy markets.

kelly1016 Champion Author Victoria Posts:1,953 Points:352,940 Joined:Oct 2011	Message Posted: May 7, 2012 10:51:27 AM Ignore kelly1016 Report Abuse Having a Socialist Party in charge does NOT equal failure anymore than Capitalism equals success. There are winniers in losers in all systems. Why do you think the occupy Wall Street movement occured? Ragen believed that if you made the wealthy more so trickle down would occur and all would benifit. This did not happen. The disparity between rich and poor grew and much of the extra wealth benerated to corporations due to tax cuts went off shore to build factories in areas where wages were low. Asia really benifited from this while american factories closed due to jobs going to Asia. Socialist governments tend toward protectionism and taking from the rich to pay for services to the poor. Sweden and Norway both have socialist governments and are doing just fine. The NDP in Manitoba and Saskatchewan did just fine as well.
