    Right, I know how we can quickly clear our national debt.

    Bill Gates is rich right. And he also has a microsoft office in Dublin.

    All we need is someone in Microsoft to send an email invitation to big Bill, asking him to come meet his loyal employees in his Dublin camps. Bill being Bill will surely jump at this invitiation and take up our inside mans kind offer.

    Then as soon as Bill gets in, we get the Irish army to sieze him and hold him hostage demanding whatever obscene amount in billions we owe.

    He's a billionare right, and he also has Buffets billions as well. Billions plus billions eqauls billionsbillions right?

    We have a large and loyal fifth column in yankeeland; they wouldn't dream of lifting a finger. We are part of the European Union; they can't invade themselves, and the rest of the world wouldn't really care.

    We can all be out of this hole in about two weeks, no problem, and Bill gets to complete his life work of giving away all his fortune to needy causes

    Win win.

    Then get invaded by America. We're already controlled by religious fundamentalists.

    And in turn has led to a happy , content society that is trouble free. There is no downside to this, we need to start now.

    Who would want it?

    I guess as an incentive Roscommon could be thrown in at half-price.

    How's about we kidnap the fúcking pope? The Catholic Church has trillions worth of priceless treasures and real estate all over the globe. Where the fúck are they now that the country is on it's knees? How about we seize all their assets in this country? That should knock a billion or two off the books.

    Well if we grew it, they'd want to control it. Grow it and they will come.

    Feck..

    Ok, how about we sell the Phoenix Park to Iran maybe? I'm sure it'd represent a great opportunity for them to get closer to America.

    I can see it now:

    Iran (Part 2),
    Phoenix Park,
    Dublin 8,
    Ireland, Iran.

    So we kidnap Bill Gates, take over the Vatican and then force Bill Gates to buy all of the stuff?

    I can find no flaws with this plan.

    But this is AH, it's more likely people will just sit around and moan.

    cut ALL welfare payments by at least 50%, cut all public sector pay to be inline with the rest of the EU, teachers, doctors, nurses, cops, council workers are earning far too much for the little work they do
