The former prime minister of Portugal has taken a short break from his propaganda tour and hideout studies in France. He is there to study political science. To call politics a science is of course ridiculous - as it belongs to the so called social sciences - aka the voodoo sciences. So let us call it by its name. Mr. Socrates is in France to study politics. About time I would say. Have they gotten to the part of "dangers of corruption?". Or the part where you learn to lie properly?
Because Mr Socrates' excuse on public TV concerning his statement is among the worst I have ever heard. He claims that the phrase: "The idea of paying the debt is childish" must be seen in context.
He claims he was referring to "paying the entire Portuguese debt in one go" as a childish notion. By "one go" he meant next year or maybe in 3-4 years.
I would call it a godlike notion - as in needing a miracle - to be able to pay the Portuguese debt in one go. Portugal cannot even stop increasing the debt, not mentioning paying it off...
Therefore the excuse is utter nonsense.
Instead it is for once a true glimpse into the soul of the "entitled" opportunists. There is a strange ideology among us in the world. It is an ideology of entitlement. We are entitled to receive help, we are entitled to have everything paid, we are entitled to free health care - we are entitled to everything. There is nothing mentioned of gratitude, hard work. paying back or taking responsibility. No, instead there is a demand of rights. A right to entitlement.
Mr. Socrates not only is a believer in rights. He of course feels Portugal is entitled to eternal finance and no obligations. He happily spends other people's hard earned money. Without a glimpse he in 6 years doubled Portugal's debt, as the money earners capability of creating riches to be taken by the state was not up to the necessities of Mr. Socrates. He completely ignored his duties as the head of government, not to mention as the head of the country. He fostered an environment of extreme corruption and absolutely no accountability.
Rights are in my opinion something earned and rights always include obligations.
Now we must pay, and dearly, for the "entitled".
May the phrase , "The idea of paying the debt is childish", follow Mr. Socrates as a defining moment the rest of his life. Another proof of ineptitude. Perhaps then he will never be given a job of responsibility again.
