-Removed-There was no humor in Friends. Who watched it and why remains a mystery.
But the show it replaced, "Seinfeld," gets funnier as it ages. Total "Seinfeld" syndication revenue recently hit the $2 billion mark. Larry David is a comic genius. Seinfeld shtick is part of American idiom now ("Yada, yada", "master of my domain", "Serenity now!"😉.
Ironically, the least funny character in "Seinfeld" was Jerry Seinfeld.

-Removed-The competitive devaluation myth has been doing wonders for the British economy, hasn't it? 😵
By the way, Ireland has higher GDP per capita at PPP (purchasing power parity, yes they are richer when at home and when going abroad) than the UK. Tell me again how exactly the Euro was bad for them.

You should argue for your own land, before being a stepping stone of 2 above you! 😛

Your country has never saved, and its saving's interest rates are heading the same as Greece has achieved.......... if you don't agree...... you're blind!
If anything the Euro helps with that. We borrow at lower rates (than would otherwise be possible), our currency isn't depreciating making it even harder to repay and now there's even additional pressure on governments being fiscally responsible.

That's good is it?
Investors will not come to Portugal now..... FACT!
You bet on FAILURE as a success???? 😲
You borrow at lower rates, because you believe PROSPECTORS can save your sorry 0ss.
Fiscal responsibility left the agenda once Greece screwed up. The EU won't keep bailing countries out. But, as I said, Portugal has no savings........ where do you go from there?
Originally posted by mikelomThe Euro helps with the savings problem even if there's no "bailout" (if you call loans at 5% a 'bailout', I certainly pay less on my mortgage). Why? Because fears of insolvency lead to a currency crisis, which makes the insolvency a reality for currency with debt denominated in currency other that theirs. It's a self-fulfilling default. Like this Portugal is not having a currency crisis leading to a default because it has to pay its debt in its own currency.

Besides, our government had the deficit under control and under 3% before the crisis hit. So we don't have a structural sovereign debt issue like Greece. Most of Portugal's current deficit is not structural and is a consequence of the response to the crisis. But you only read the FT and they talk about private debt when discussing sovereign debt as if it was the same thing. Why? Because muppets like you lap it up and glee at the idea of an Euro meltdown which is not going to happen. And thus the FT sells another copy.
