What a wonderful world we live in. The size of the Greek debt explained to us by a British-accented man of Chinese origin on an Al-Jazeera Youtube upload.

Wonder if the Euro/IMF bankers would miss one of those pallets if I were to abscond with it.

Hey, this guy has a great sense of humor!

On the other hand, this is freakin' scary that Greece alone owes that much. Wonder what all the Eurozone countries debts look like stacked up together.

Then ya gotta look at our own USA debt stacked up against Greece. At $14 TRILLION... that would be 28 TIMES AS BIG!!! :o :shock:

Then look at our off balance sheets liabilities and it is somewhere over 200 TIMES AS BIG AS GREECE'S DEBT! :shock: :twisted:
When I die, I want to go like Grandpa did. He died in his sleep..... Not screaming and hollering like all the passengers in his car.
