“Well, as I said, you know the issue of Greek debt, they've grasped the principle of debt reduction. I think most people would argue that probably more needs to be done on that front, and they've just begun to take the first steps to accepting that there's going to have to be much closer economic integration in Europe.” PeopleThinkingKnowsNeedsFirstsWellsSaidDoneAcceptingStepsPrinciplesIssuesEconomicFrontsEuropeDebtArguingGreekFirst StepsIntegrationReductionEconomic Integration Author:Vince Cable

“The American president increasingly used his influence to create conflicts, intensify existing conflicts, and, above all, to keep conflicts from being resolved peacefully.

“The division of the United States into federations of equal force was decided long before the Civil War by the high financial powers of Europe. These bankers were afraid that the United States, if they remained in one block and as one nation, would attain economic and financial independence, which would upset their financial domination over the world.
