Greek socialists reluctantly accept IMF ‘meddling’ in deal to save the country they ruined

If I were negotiating this deal on behalf of the IMF and the EU, one term I would demand is the resignation of the socialist government

It’s the third bailout of Greece in five years. Heck, even Chrysler must be appalled at a performance like that. And while we’re still waiting for the details, early reports indicate that Greece’s socialist government had to accept much more stringent terms than the ones they told Greek voters to reject just last week.

It’s easy just telling everyone yes to whatever they want until you run out of stuff to give them. That’s when your creditors own you, and you can talk all you want about resisting “austerity” or whatever, but when you’re presented with one way and one way only to prevent the entire collapse of your country . . . there’s no way out: HTML5 video is not supported!

The total commitment of money has not been disclosed. But a document by the eurozone leaders noted that experts had estimated that Greece might need from 82 billion to 86 billion euros more — $91 billion to $96 billion — to shore up its economy, rebuild its banks and meet its debt obligations over the next three years. The document said Greece and its creditors should seek to “reduce that financing envelope,” if possible.

Greece is a victim of its own political cronyism and corruption. Greece was hollowed-out from within by greedy, insatiable politicians w/ a fixation on govt power.

Greece's "New Democracy government" excelled in mismanagement...it appointed an estimated 150,000 civil servants. These "civil servants" were cronies and political hangers-on. When the Greek monetary crisis broke....one report showed that the Greek govt had some 528 agencies fully-staffed and highly-paid ...that had nothing whatsoever to do.

Who will bailout the US if the Clintons get back into the WH?

Sucking off the backs of hard-working taxpayers is the name of the Clinton game. The opportunistic Clintons grab anything that isn't nailed down. They became multi-billionaires overnight selling off US ntl security to the highest bidder.

The Clintons are lying in wait to duplicate the Greek debacle. They have an army of workers ready and waiting at the infamous foundation. All of them salivating over the prospect of high-pay govt jobs and endless pensions and perks....courtesy of the taxpayers.

Keep in mind the Clintons, and their suck-ups, are not content w/ six-figure govt salaries, expense accounts, housing and clothing allowances and free travel. It's Greece all over again---high-paid govt factotums w/ dollar signs dancing in their heads.

ONE EXAMPLE OF A CLINTON WH APPOINTMENT: long-time Clintonista, Sid Blumenthal.

<><> the Clintons announce Blumenthal was hired by the Clinton Foundation to "promote Bill's presidential legacy," (waiting for hysterical laughter to die down)

<><> at the same time Blumenthal was tight w/ American Bridge and Media Matters — two Democratic groups aiding 2016 Hillary,

<><> dollar-crazed Blumenthal was also a paid advisor to US businesses seeking Libyan contracts (marketing his influence w/ Hillary's State Dept);

<><> buckeroo Blumenthal was secretly advising Secy of State Clinton about Libya @ $320,000 per year;

<><> suck-up Sid also pocketed $200,000 a year from Clinton political fixer, David Brock's, media operations.

In more than one news report.....the deceptive Clintons defended their foundation’s work by saying that its focus has always been on "charity." “We and our supporters care only about impact, not ideology,” Bill Clinton said in a written statement. “We are an entirely non-political foundation.”

However, the foundation teems w/ key members of Hillary’s political gofers and has been disparagingly referred to as "Hillary's 2016 Super-Pac." The Foundation appears to use the charity and its enormous resources as a revolving door to shuffle Clintons political factotums from manning political operations.....into the charity......then back into politics.

==================================================

In 2009, the Clintons duped the public, and its wealthy donors. (and contravened tax-exempt laws) by announcing Sidney Blumenthal, a long-time adviser to both Clintons, had been hired...... (wait for it) "to work on a project to promote Bill Clinton’s presidential legacy. "

(waiting for hysterical laughter to die down)

But Sid's secret emails show that, while on the foundation payroll, ostensibly promoting Bill's legacy, Blumenthal fed back-channel, usually unreliable, intelligence reports on Libya to then-Secy of State Clinton.

Hillary sent Sid's reports on to senior State official without attribution......as if they were her analyses.

The NYT reports extensively on Blumenthal's secret emails to Hillary (emails she did not want revealed).

=====================================================

LATER NEWS REPORTS SAY---Pricewaterhouse Coopers accountants retained by the Clintons failed to report the Clinton Foundation’s apparent massive diversions of funds from a HIV/AIDS global charity.
