Euro’s future looks shaky as Greece almost certain to exit

@@ancavker | May 17, 2012, 03:04 PM EDT bythebay: Actually it is the U.K. has a huge budget deficit, and the most outstanding debt. This will come more and more into focus over the next couple of years, and the bond vigilantes will be all over them. Oh and the dollar has been rebounding quite nicely lately due to the latest turmoil in Europe. It is Europe so there is always turmoil. As far as a failed experiment what a laugh. The U.S. warts and all has accomplished far more than any other country in the world in 200 odd years. And what has Ireland accomplished in 80 years of independence, ZERO.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> OH JUST ANOTHER 'LOUD MOUTH YANK'' BLOWING HIS HOLE AGAIN !! OH GIVE IT A REST MATE WE'RE SICK OF YE !!!

ancavker, the UK debt is £1 trillion, far, far below yours! The dollar has been in the pits since you started your illegal war which you apparently are still having trouble ending -- longest war ever!! And another of your accomplishments is 8.5 million people hungry every day. And you're facing imminent default. Nothing at all there to be proud of mate.

BrianO, it's not an Irish one mate!

BTB, can't you even get a pun,

SeamusMor, checkmate, Ireland doesn't play American football!

It's forth down and ten years to go for the Irish. I bet a million drachma they will PUNT!

What is the future of the dollar? It's been losing value for years. JP Morgan - Chase has added another billion to the 2 billion "lost", how much more was lost? The US faces financial default itself since no budget has been agreed and the $15 trillion national deficit continues to climb. Look to the US when describing a deeply flawed experiment. The US has the highest deficit in the world. Additionally 8.5 million of your people go hungry every day.

The United States destabilized currencies when their financial institutions collapsed and adversely effected Europe. The European Union and the Euro currency worked well until that happened. Ireland fared far better as a member of the European Union and Euro currency. The European Union will survive this.

"Instead we have...seeking to dictate and lecture the other smaller states..." Could be referring to the United States Irish Voice editors!

Mousemess, it's called Irish in Ireland, not Irish Gaelic.

Irish pound or "punt" as its also known in Irish Gaelic.
