i don't know where you live, but keep in mind that most countries and their banks who are in trouble now have lived a lifestyle they just could not afford for years. this whole thing had to collapse.
paying 5% interest rate to clients while the rest of EU is at 1.5%-1% is just surreal.
don't blame merkel and the others, blame the one who brought us so far, and that are the governments of cyprus/italy/greece/spain.
This is exactly what EU rulers want to convince everybody of.
Did you try to research the situation around Cyprus ? Do you know that their problem appeared after Greece collapsed and the most of investments made by Cyprus had just evaporated?
Just read this
http://abcnews.go.com/Business/cyprus-crisis-explained-idiot/story?id=18782212FYI, I personally never took any loan. All my money were on current bank account, the money operated by my business. But nazi-chancellor-bitch insisted that Cyprus have to raid all bank accounts to collect necessary amount to pay country's debt. Really nice, yes?
calm down. i don't blame guys like you and average joe for what happened.
i know it is a shitty situation and if we wanted to prevent it we had to start like 10 years ago, at least. but at the moment, there are only two options. one of them is bancruptcy of cyprus. in that case everybody would lose most of their money due to massive inflation.
the other option is what is happening now and i hope you understand that this walks hand in hand with actions that affect everyone in cyprus.
i don't want to tell anyone what to do and think, but you can't expect other states to pay for your banks and debts and just wait for the next crash.
