Hi-dee Hi-dee Hi-deee Ho.......
Maybe they can borrow the money from Russia if they agree to be part of the Russian Federation. The Greek Army can then attack Ukraine, and try to loot all the Rich Ukrainians.
Oh wait...
Not to worry.
I’m sure that Dorkbama and his West Wing Clown Show of Felons will give Obamafones to the moochers, followed by free college.
Oh yeah, we can give them “free” medical card and social security, too.
There was a poll out today that many Americans support Obama’s spending programs but not the tax hikes he proposes to pay for them. We are just as screwed as Greece. We just aren’t quite there yet. “Gimme gimme gimme and make someone else pay for it” is a seductive campaign promise.
Such countries will eventually join together in a Debtors Cartel and really give the global banking community some reasons to start buying their Maalox in 55 gallon drums.
So the stupid progressive-left policies of the EU elites and statists engendered a communist-fascist regime in Greece
So let’s just hope they take each other down, and the EU edifice collapses.
I suspect it won’t, because the EU has learned the wonders of Central Bank money-printing, ZIRP and financial repression just like our own US Government, Federal Reserve, and Wall Street have - but get the popcorn anyway.
The moo hers didn’t win. The people threw off the shackles of the parties that refused to lead - not that the commies will improve things...
They can’t spend more money if no one will lend it to them and they can’t print Euros.
A short primer for: communists/democrats/progressives/socialists...
"Scarcity" is what the study of economics is based upon. The basic concept of economics is the law of supply and demand. The reason it's called a "law" is that if it is violated, there are consequences.
Bare with me on this...
Where the supply and demand curves intersect, is where the price of a good or service is determined. The question then becomes the price in what currency? There in lies the problem.
Scarcity...

“A democracy is always temporary in nature; it simply cannot exist as a permanent form of government.
A democracy will continue to exist up until the time that voters discover that they can vote themselves generous gifts from the public treasury.
From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates who promise the most benefits from the public treasury, with the result that every democracy will finally collapse due to loose fiscal policy, which is always followed by a dictatorship.” - Alexander Fraser Tytler
That's silly. Right now, the EU is the only thing that stands between Greece and certain doom.
Funny to see conservatives cheer Greek communists on.
Democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on what’s for dinner.
“Greece is about to find out what happens when one says, “FU! I’m not paying back a single dime you loaned me!” followed by, “Dude, I need to borrow some more money...”
Ironically, if a nation renounces its debt, lenders will line up to buy its bonds. A nation without debt has less risk. Greece has done that at least 5 times before. Spain is the default champion with at least 19!
To prevent an earthquake that ripples through the EU, they will accommodate Greece, no matter how they grumble.
You got it. They are the gov’t welfare class, and this spells doom for Greece. Greece can’t make it as a capitalist society— they don’t have the cultural background, the education, the products & services, or the work ethic to produce, export, and grow economically. The masses are growing poorer; their standard of living is declining; and they are desperate for the government to step in and fix it all... which is of course a trap. Expect eventual widespread violence when things get worse. Don’t be surprised if the Islamo-fascists sweep in at that point.
You are absolutely right. EU Plutocrats are now shaking in their boots over the thought of Spain or Italy electing a government like this.
Venezuela
Here we come
Long lines soon
we are so dumb
With hyper
inflation
and no goods
we’ll have to
wipe our butts
with leaves we get in the woods

I remember on an episode of Simpsons, the city of Springfield once saw a bear wandering around in it, so the city set up a “bear patrol” with watch towers, and helicopters to appease the citizens.
Homer was saying “I feel so safe now with my Bear Patrol!” Then he opened up a bill from the government and it had a $1000 “Bear Patrol” tax tacked on, and of course he was shocked and outraged.
2008 was a great turning point in American history; the “Moochers” took over.
