Why not, isn't it the capitalists in France causing that problem? Seems to
me the US capitalists are far worse.

Just wait and see what the German capitalists have in mind for Europe.

Start behaving more responsible? 'orrible. The poor Greek ...

Please explain, in clear English, with supporting facts, exactly why it
is the fault of the US banking system.

You have supplied links to the thoughts of others. YOUR interpretation
and thoughts are conspicuous by their absence.

My interpretation and thoughts aren't needed for well known facts.
BTW, you are drastically shifting goal posts. How about you
explain, with facts(!), that the US banks had nothing to do
with any global recession, and that a recession can never cause
economies that need growth to survive to falter.

If you manage that, you can become a well-paid ghost writer for
some of the politicans further removed from reality.

No! I am not going to wade through unexplained links.
this paper gets an "F"

You're not allowed to grade on shifted goal posts, assuming
for a second you *were* capable of grading me in any subject in
first place.

You made the positive statement. The burden is on you to supply proof.

And I did provide proof.

If you wanted everything predigested by me, you should have said
so and sent money --- predigestion isn't necessary for grownups
and for such frivolous things my time isn't free.


You ask me to prove a negative statement that I did not make,

I made the positive of that statement through my links. You denied
my links could be true/proof/valid, hence you have to disprove
my chains of reasoning, for example by proving such statements.

If I drastically overestimated your intelligence and reading
ability I am sorry --- in that case you'd really need the proof
explained by a grown-up.

while
accusing me of shifting goal posts.

Changing from "provide proof" to "provide 'YOUR interpretation
and thoughts'" is shifting goalposts.
