We will earn with this… where did I hear that before?
In my latest text (in Finnish, of course) I laughed at precisely this “making profit” notion. Our current PM used essentially the same words two years ago saying “we (Finland) will earn from Greek bail-out”. Didn’t play out that well, did it?
Off-topic but still in a bit of similar note, not long ago Mr Krugman pointed out our PM’s hollow defenses about succesful austerity measures in Latvia and Ireland (there improved employment numbers are largely due to young people emigrating…). Of course no Finnish news picked up this poking as our dear leaders are unfallible. Oh well… (>_

Nice touch, eh?

This idea works wonders as quite a many would-be pensioners won’t be around to collect pensions. I’m sure the CEO-level positions would follow this recommendation to the letter – just like today.
