Talking sinister gibberish in order to evade the obvious conclusion

It has become apparent to anyone with a grip on economic reality that free markets simply cannot produce enough wealth to support the sort of universal entitlement programmes which the populations of democratic countries have been led to expect. The fantasy may be sustained for a while by the relentless production of phoney money to fund benefits and job-creation projects, until the economy is turned into a meaningless internal recycling mechanism in the style of the old Soviet Union.

A perfect investment opportunity for Charly

Mr. Corzine, in a bid to rebuild his image and engage his passion for trading, is weighing whether to start a hedge fund, according to people with knowledge of his plans. He is currently trading with his family’s wealth. If he is successful as a hedge fund manager, it would be the latest career comeback for a man who was ousted from both the top seat at Goldman Sachs and the New Jersey governor’s mansion.

How to steal a cool billion, pinko style

Mr Rot needs to come back, and pay up

$1 trilion here, $1 trillion there, and pretty soon you're talking real money.

Money safe in the bank

A little monkey wrench into Rot & Pepe's honeymoon plans for Chamonix and Courmayeur

The cost of a weak country leaving the Euro is significant. Consequences include sovereign default, corporate default, collapse of the banking system and collapse of international trade. We estimate that a weak Euro country leaving the Euro would incur a cost of around EUR9,500 to EUR11,500 per person in the exiting country during the first year. That equates to a range of 40% to 50% of GDP. [..] The economic cost is, in many ways, the least of the concerns investors should have about a break-up. Fragmentation of the Euro would incur political costs. Europe’s “soft power” influence internationally would cease (as the concept of “Europe” as an integrated polity becomes meaningless). It is also worth observing that almost no modern fiat currency monetary unions have broken up without some form of authoritarian or military government, or civil war.

Let's just print another trillion dollars

.. or five, and put it on the tab.

C'mon, Rot, now you have enough to pay the tab

Going full Greek

.. is just a matter of time. In the meantime, drink ouzo, my friends.

The Greeks aren’t going to bail us out? Oh, c'mon!

Steyn not happy

You don't say

Ferguson worrywart again

Nahhh, don't worry, be happy, says Rot. Just keep on printing money, and let the good times roll.

Bernanke explains the exponential curve to Rot

If something can’t go on forever, it will stop. Mais non, mais non, says Rot. Just keep on truckin'.

A sucker is born every minute

Ah, this explains it.
