European Views


Angela Merkel: “You can’t spend more than you take in. You can’t live your whole life this way. Everybody knows this.”

NYTimes just had an editorial saying that more stimulus speding was needed to "create" an economic recovery. Apparently several trillion $ is not enough. I'm reminded of the 18th century doctors - "we have not bled the patient enough to remove the bilious humors. Bleed him some more."
