Tell that to Greece

By the way, Alex Tsipras has just resigned today.  


What an ignorant comparison, using this kind of flawed logic (sophism) look how good having national currencies did for countries like Cuba & North Korea, so the US should ditch its currency... Everything not Republican is fated to a Greek-like fate according to you... my advice: tap in that thing called the internet & do a bit of research before making a fool of yourself in here. Debating ideas is good & useful, parroting GOP propaganda is sterile & not self-empowering!

#1: There's no need to be a jerk to him.

#2: Without wishing to jump into the fray, your analogy parodying his metaphor doesn't work, as there is reason to believe that Greece's economic downturn is related to its consistent deficit spending (and quite a few people do), while there's absolutely no reason to believe that either North Korea's or Cuba's poor economic state is related to it having a national currency. If the idea of Greece's economic failings being related to consistent deficit spending is so silly, then you should have no problem explaining it to him in a clear, concise manner without needing to resort to insults.

O/T, I'd almost assuredly go third party over either of them. Protest vote n' such.
