I supported an immediate default a year before the crisis of Germany needing a cheaper euro (er I mean the national debt of a country that represents 5% of EU gdp) broke in the headlines. If you have a drinking problem the best thing to do is stop ...

The hard thing to acknowledge is that Europe shit the bed together on this one. The easy way is to point the finger at a country that represents less than 5% of EU GDP for the woes of the other 95%'s. No shame heaped on the hypocrites yet.

Actually most of the bribes were traced back to German Corporations like Siemens making deposits to various Greek Ministers bank accounts in Switzerland in the 10's of millions of euros. It's hard to get an average of 400% profit over market value ...

If they couldn't make ends meet when 16% more of the population was working, why was there any expectation that the situation would resolve itself with 16% less people to tax? Boggles the mind.

You do realize that's less defaults than Germany over the same time period. The rest of you numbnutz do realize that it was following EU/IMF demands that drove the unemployment rate from 9% to 25%. You get that right? Guess not.

I don't think I have ever read the words of a man who wished he was Greek as much as you do.

Really, that headline, really? ECB - 17 years old Hellas - 4000 years young not placing a bet but if you wonder who will outlast who ...

I believe it was called a bailout at first and then quantitative easing later. Took quite a few trillion just to steady the ship did it not? That money didn't come out of any hidden surplus, it did not come out from under granny's mattress. It came ...

Yeah, it's amazing how a few deposits to the right Swiss bank accounts got Greece 50 billion worth of infrastructure for that 200 billion debt. No one wants to imagine that the holy Germans could have created this situation hand in hand with the ...

Didn't the U.S. make up 48X the entire national debt of Greece out of thin air to dig itself out of it own hole? I don't see the issue anymore.

Right...... Ok then. How about about we start from the country that has the biggest debt and go down the line until we get to the country with the least amount. Then when everyone is at zero we start pointing fingers and being self righteous. How ...

No. It did not have to, but it took full possible advantage. Greece could not possibly borrow the amounts that were handed to German corporations for services rendered. That is where France comes into the picture. Was France buying all that Greek ...

I left Greece when Greece refused to leave the Euro. The day I made my decision was when it was announced that the minimum wage would be cut by 20%. Unemployment was 9% at that time. After the Troika ran amok for a few years and the IMF got ...

LOL, another muppet. Greek Debt is German profit. Germany profited immensely from zero competition in Greece which they guaranteed themselves my bribing the government with millions of euros. Put a million euros in a Greek politicians Swiss bank ...

“There’s a feeling in Germany that we’ve made concessions over and over again,” said Marcel Fratzscher, president of DIW Berlin, an economics research institute, and a professor of macroeconomics and finance at Berlin’s Humboldt University. “What is ...
