OK then, raise your taxes, cut your services, quit griping and get to work. You have some debt to pay. And no, ........taking out more debt won't help you pay your debts.
The Greeks are not motivated by the dollar. At least those I have met were not. Their country has experienced poverty before and it won't be a reason to stay in the Eurozone. Πολιτική, good for you and your people. Do what is right, you'll exist long after the Eurocrats lose power.
Who mentioned the referendum? Well who? Come on...who did it... The Greek people are back in control of their country. The Greek Government is going to fall, I have that on very good authority and if he was wrong, I'll post on it here It may be a better option for Greece to leave. The UK on the other hand, is going to be future shafted by a collaborating group of Europrats, oops I mean Eurocrats who will win every vote and we have seen what happens to countries who don't comply with the herd, i.e. Ireland and the Lisbon Treaty. Arrant thuggery. Ireland, UK, Greece and anyone else with a brain, should regroup and form an anti-Eurozone on principle. Why am I laughing? It's all so serious and really not funny at all.
It was humour. But they wouldn't. The Eurozone is not broken because of Greece, under normal circumstances it could have taken Greece and dragged it and carried it into a decent standard of living.
The Eurozone, is in the current situation because of the poor European integration in financial and economic fields. And trust me, the greek people had more than a decend standard of living, now they must pay.
The Eurozone is in the current situation through the impact of the world economic crisis. Decent standard of living? Based on what? I haven't been for a few years, but it was a poor country and based on current evidence, that hasn't changed. The books were cooked to make it appear more affluent, but reality appears to have destroyed that facade.
