Greek Unrest Raises Fears About Impact on Bailout
I fully support the protests (not the deaths - ever). The politicians in Greece (as elsewhere) have lined their and their families/friends pockets and now ask the general taxpayers to pay. Socializing private debt is a crime. US, UK, Iceland etc. Doesn't matter where. The debt is too large now, and can never be repaid (as a %age of GDP doesn't look horrific, but most of that GDP is the result of the loans. Underlying GDP without those loans is 40% of the total figure). It seems as though they want to continue to rape the Greek people until all is lost. Greece. Jail your corrupt politicians, take their assets to pay as much debt as possible, default on the rest, and start again. Don't run your country for the debtors satisfaction. Run it for social justice.
