Irish Job Cuts

For my own purposes, I wanted to mark down some data from here. Public employment over time:
That’s 28,000 jobs cut since late 2008, the equivalent, scaled by population, of 1.9 million layoffs here.
And they say Ireland hasn’t really had austerity."

Historical Echoes

Kevin O’Rourke:
… the extremes are gaining in Europe because centrist parties are offering voters no meaningful choices. Pasok and ND are an egregious example, but the same is true in all the other programme countries, and to a lesser extent in other countries as well. So if you want to vote against the status quo policies, you have no alternative but to vote for Syriza, or whomever.
Second, right now in Europe, support for international institutions means, de facto, support for the current policy mix, just as being an internationalist in the interwar period, in too many cases, meant support for gold.
Also, Dani Rodrik has an all too plausible for global disaster.
Right on cue, Hungary Lauds Hitler Ally Horthy as Orban Fails to Stop Hatred.
But remember, the big problem is that the public isn’t showing enough deference to the elite."

No, Germany will bail if renegotiation wins in Greece.

Your position is not funded     That will change.

Readers’ Comments

Readers shared their thoughts on this article.
Mr. Obama decided to accelerate the attacks — begun in the Bush administration and code-named Olympic Games — even after an element of the program accidentally became public in the summer of 2010 because of a programming error that allowed it to escape Iran’s Natanz plant and sent it around the world on the Internet. Computer security experts who began studying the worm, which had been developed by the United States and Israel, gave it a name: Stuxnet."

It is only required to have them or an original document.

David E. Sanger has goods.
He thinks they are truth.

In the world of the puzzle palaces I have no idea what truth is.
I would far rather not know.
The Israelis are very good at this game and were talking early.
They may have wanted something they did not get.
That could become very ugly.

We are bumbling among dangers we do not think on.

I will have to upgrade my security.  I am thinking on how.

. . . "So the former governor of Massachusetts was telling the truth the first time: by opposing aid to beleaguered state and local governments, he is, in effect, calling for more layoffs of teachers, policemen and firemen.
Actually, it’s kind of ironic. While Republicans love to engage in Europe-bashing, they’re actually the ones who want us to emulate European-style austerity and experience a European-style depression.
And that’s not just an inference. Last week R. Glenn Hubbard of Columbia University, a top Romney adviser, published an article in a German newspaper urging the Germans to ignore advice from Mr. Obama and continue pushing their hard-line policies. In so doing, Mr. Hubbard was deliberately undercutting a sitting president’s foreign policy. More important, however, he was throwing his support behind a policy that is collapsing as you read this.
In fact, almost everyone following the situation now realizes that Germany’s austerity obsession has brought Europe to the edge of catastrophe — almost everyone, that is, except the Germans themselves and, it turns out, the Romney economic team.
Needless to say, this bodes ill if Mr. Romney wins in November. For all indications are that the his idea of smart policy is to double down on the very spending cuts that have hobbled recovery here and sent Europe into an economic and political tailspin."

A check on the European news and bed.
