    Really, its easier just to say "I dont know". I can see though that your hatred for SF is first and foremost, so i think we'll just leave it there.

    i dont like sf ,i dont like when a party says thing in policy's that dont add up too meet whats needed for ireland, dont like a party who live 40 years behind the times going on about Republican bull ,its time sf moved on and address with more than they are offering rather than dreamland policy's that on paper dont work or even add up
    sf are only interested in power for what they want not ireland

    The bailout is €85bn not €200bn. Where are you pulling your figures from?

    Most analysts agree that the bailout-in addition to what we already owe in sovereign debt and in addition to what we've already paid to the banks [and will continue to pay to the banks] and the burgeoning mortgage and credit card default will amount to no less than €150,000,000,000.
    That's not even thinking about the interest we'll be paying!

    Most agree that-whatever the figure-we won't be able to pay it back.
    All our politicians just gloss over this and start talking about 5 point plans and positivity and ****?

    the money ireland needs is whats in the imf/eu 85 billion,no more ,no less at 5.8% ,not at 9.5 % which was market price and if you see the news ,it might even come down more ,thats for all euro countrys in trouble


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,608 ✭✭✭pauldry

    We will need the 85 billion in addition to our sovereign debt which stands at c 100 billion-And counting. Add to that the 15billion deficit we're going to have this year, the further recapitalization of the banks, the oncoming credit/mortgage default. And..oh yes the crippling interest that all of this will entail???????
    Do the math!

    Hi Keltic Knight
    I'm sure you asked me that question already?
    We could borrow like many other countries have done before us.
    All approaches have their advantages and disadvantages. I'm of the "we shouldn't pay one more cent to the bankers" camp.
    I can see that's not your thing. Anyways good night

    we cant as no one will give sf any funds if they default on loans ,same as if you delaut on your loans,you wont get,so we need eu and imf for now till 2016 any ways,as far as the imf.eu deal,theres said there maybe a change by them soon after this eu meet,so maybe less than 5.8%,

    We cant pay Europe back and we cant afford to keep borrow 19 billion a year, we need to get our house in order and live within our OWN means. Good luck FG, if you think FF are going to get a pasting in this election the next one will be worse for who ever is in charge

    Hi Keltic Knight

    Someone owes you a lot of money and they announce to you that they've decided that they are not going to repay you any of it. A week later they come knocking on your door looking for more.....do you give it to them?

    Let's say even optimistically that Ireland is able to borrow on the markets after a year of being frozen out. How do SF propose in the meantime to pay the dole, teachers, nurses etc. for that year after telling the IMF to feck off while at the same time reversing previous cuts? Their figures simply don't add up.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 560 ✭✭✭virmilitaris


    I suppose this is going to be one of the more stupider questions on this thread.

    If we cannot afford to keep the country afloat with our own money without borrowing money, surely we cannot afford to continue to borrow to keep it afloat ?

    If I make 1000 euros a month and I borrow another 1000 every month just to survive than how is this sustainable ? Surely the problem is that I am spending too much and I need to live on 1000 less every month.

    Is it the normal state of a country's economy to be constantly in an increasing amount of debt ?

    I really don't understand economics so I apologise if this all sounds very nieve.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,644 ✭✭✭✭Zubeneschamali


    Is it the normal state of a country's economy to be constantly in an increasing amount of debt ?

    Yes.

    Suppose your National Debt is growing at 2%, and your economy is growing at 3%, then no problem, you can service your debt forever. In fact, it is shrinking compared to your economy.

    The problem is that suddenly our economy is shrinking, and our spending isn't. The current FF/EU/IMF plan is that we reduce our spending over 4 years (that's the 3% of GDP by 2014 target everyone talks about), and while we're doing that, the EU/IMF lend us enough to keep the lights on.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,789 ✭✭✭✭maccored


    the EU/IMF lend us enough to keep the lights on.

    which we can't afford to even pay the interest on, of course. I cant see how that makes us any better off.

    We paid more in interest back in the 80s.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4 St.Jimmy


    Words will fail us when our children ask us in years to come "Why in 2011 didn't Fine Gael have the balls to do what's right? Why did they continue to pay billions of our nations money to foreign Investors when we couldn't even afford to pay for ourselves. Why is our country so f***ed?"[/QUOTE]


    Yes, the writing is on the wall.

    And let the banks collapse before any more people's lives collapse in poverty and ill health.

    And let us take the brunt of bank collapse, and not our children.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,789 ✭✭✭✭maccored

    We paid more in interest back in the 80s.

    So you believe we can pay back the interest owed on the new eu/imf deal? This is nothing like the 80s btw.
