- @GTCost but not even 1 of ireland’s premier europhiles could defend current EU fiscal policy #
- @liamooo our central bank would be in charge of printing new punts, as is usual #rtefl #
- @colettebrowne which would bother me if we could borrow from the markets. As it is, we’re an assumed default with junk bonds #rtefl #
- @colettebrowne the ecb then gets to make a decision. Save the EU with debt right offs and QE or abandon the eurozone #
- @liamooo do ya think he may be nuts
#
- @colettebrowne the big countries know we’ll default, they just want to have their elections first #rtefl #

- @jbwan it's a poorly written article of scare mongering with all inferences drawn from 1 comparison, Argentina #
- @jbwan it's also full of assertions that may have no basis in reality. e.g. default = eurozone ejection and 4 year currency doom spiral #
- @jbwan also, the argentine economy rebounded quite quickly with substantial growth. There's some political whi… (cont) http://deck.ly/~UoNkU #

- @GTCost @brianmlucey @liamoo often ppl treat free advice, however good, with contempt & expensive advice, however poor, as invaluable #
- @GTCost I agree but I think backwater Irish politicians are scared of academics. Economics might aswell be witchcraft #
- @wickedfairysad thanks to my witchcr4f7 tweet, I have now gained several occult followers

- @brianmlucey it’s bloody entertaining though… Some of it is utter trolling. #
- @brianmlucey would be nice to find out the real identities behind the bluster. Interesting point on fiscal v current a/c deficits #

By the Gardai…
I really really resent being given my first 2 points for driving 71 km/h on a dual carriageway in Waterford that has been given a 60 km/h “special” speed limit. To be honest, I have no recollection of exceeding the speed limit on this road but I must have done it at some stage. In my drive home at 60km/h today, I was actually beeped by 2 cars for driving so slowly. I would say the average speed on the road is closer to 80 km/h yet the bullshit pretense continues. I’d argue this in court but we have a thoroughly anti-democratic system in place, borrowed from our UK neighbors, that increases the number of points you receive if you attempt to defend your rights in court and fail. So if I defend myself I run the risk of doubling the points (or if the judge was really pissed off losing my license) for driving at 71 km/h on a FRIGGIN DUAL CARRIAGEWAY.
