Eurozone Crisis: It is all Greek to me! by Kevin E. Dayhoff February 8, 2012



Now that the Super Bowl is over there may be no better time to focus some attention on the continuing Greek tragedy that is unfolding over in the economic Twilight Zone, known as the Eurozone.

There is a growing sense that Americans, somewhat exhausted after a decade of foreign wars and international conflict, have grown increasingly isolationist in their worldview.

That may be a good thing to a certain extent. The United States cannot continue to pay the price of maintaining the planet’s police force.

While other nations concentrate that portion of its gross national product to strengthening its industrial base, quality of life and economy – think Germany – that would otherwise go to defense spending if it were not for the United States, our nation continues to wallow in an economic tar pit.

Just when our nation’s economy cheers up a bit, things threaten to get worse quickly.

As we head for the seclusion of the isolationist, padded panic room, it might be a good idea to take a look over our shoulder and keep an eye on Greece – and Portugal, Ireland, Spain and Italy… http://www.thetentacle.com/ShowArticle.cfm?mydocid=4907

Maryland Gov. Martin O’Malley’s fiscal year 2013 state budget, released a week ago, is a full menu of difficult choices. However, one of the most troubling is the lack of funding for police protection and highway user revenue for municipalities.

The consensus continues to gather steam that the GOP nomination to challenge President Barack Obama for president this fall will be former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney. Perhaps all the drama now moves to who will be his choice for vice president.

It is fairly well accepted among keen observers of national politics that the Iowa caucuses of Tuesday a week ago are much more about political and media-theater than a prognosticator of who will vie for the Oval Office this fall.

Next Wednesday, on January 11, the 430th taxing tradition of the Maryland General Assembly opera will once again take center stage.
