Someday the borrowing has to be repaid. You cannot run deficits for ever, not grow and hope to remain alive.<br /><br />Yes indeed people are ingenious when it comes to money and no rules can curtail greed.<br />Rameshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11782192840421019943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4740849900073154554.post-21528647721172736092015-04-13T10:22:03.262+05:302015-04-13T10:22:03.262+05:30If this can help EU sustain and eventually overcom...If this can help EU sustain and eventually overcomw the crisis, i am all for it.
