Legendary investor George Soros has called on Germany to leave the euro unless it willing to embrace a growth strategy, describing Berlin’s austerity doctrine as a threat to democracy and political stability in Europe.
"German policy is becoming a danger that could destroy the European Project. A collapse of the euro cannot be excluded," he told the German weekly Die Zeit
Germany has raised the bar for every eurozone country by announcing €80bn of belt-tightening from next year.
THE BILLIONAIRE who bought the pound to its knees in 1992 has been accused of being part of a plot to cash in on the fall of the euro.
George Soros, of investment firm Soros Fund Management, is reported to have taken part in an ‘idea dinner’ with some of Wall Street’s most powerful figures on February 8 to discuss the likelihood of the euro plunging in value to the level of the US dollar.
Now they stand to make millions after huge bets were placed on the currency’s continuing decline.
Lobbying records show the company backing solar subsidies including federal funding for solar research. The U.S. Export-Import Bank, a federal agency, is currently financing a BP solar energy project in Argentina.
BP also employs lobbying firm, the Podesta Group. That would be the same John Podesta who runs the Center for American Progress—a George Soros funded left wing think tank.
Last August, the U.S. Export-Import Bank issued a "preliminary commitment" letter to Brazil's state-run Petrobras in the amount of $2 billion, with the promise of more to follow. Why are we lending billions to a foreign oil company that made $15 billion last year?
These taxpayer dollars finance exploration of the huge offshore discovery in Brazil's Tupi oil field in the Santos Basin near Rio de Janeiro. Apparently there are no pristine beaches full of tourists there. Someday we may be importing that oil we're helping Brazil get at.
Has that letter been rescinded as part of the moratorium? Why are Brazil's offshore fields safe but ours aren't?

Amazing how many of the topics we discuss here lead back to this man.
