It's exactly what Nazis used to do. I'm sure it's too late for you understand that the distribution of wealth globally isn't a matter of how hard people work (or else Malaysia would be the richest country in the world). I'm also sure that you believe that USA is the hegemonic power of the world because Americans are hard workers (although if you take your wife and go to Baghdad for your anniversary, you will be quite surprised to discover the way your country maintains its power). My only problem here is that you are not informed about the reality at all. This bailout you're talking about is not money that goes to the (lazy if you wish) Greek people, but directly to American and European banks (to whom the Greek state ''owes'' interests and repayments from loans from the 19th century or even from the Nazi occupation). The problem is that without these bailouts some of YOUR banks-thieves will collapse (like lehman). YOU'RE NOT SAVING GREEKS' ASS, YOU'RE SAVING YOUR ASS!! In fact, nobody is willing to save nobody's ass, everybody is only willing to save his own ass. Or did you just think that the US government suddenly started to help the world? Please next time be more careful when you insult entire nations like that.. after all some people go through some real difficulties and (just for your information) 99% of the Greeks are either unemployed (25% of the total) or are obliged to work more that 60 hours pre week but still cannot even dream of being able to afford a romantic getaway to Santorini, even if it's only a 20 mins flight from Athens.Think responsibly, pleasehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16880052945894033908noreply@blogger.com
