Being a socialist has it’s consequences..
Chickens coming home to blow up like hand grenades..
What exactly are they voting on.
July 5 could be Greek Independence Day…
Debates in the House of Representatives on the First Report on Public Credit 9–18 February 1790
James Jackson (Ga.)
But it is doubted with me whether a permanent funded debt is beneficial or not to any country.
The same effect must be produced that has taken place in other nations; it must either bring on a national bankruptcy or annihilate her existence as an independent empire. Hence I contend, sir, that a funding system, in this country, will be highly dangerous to the welfare of the republic; it may, for a moment, raise our credit and increase the circulation, by multiplying a new species of currency; but it must, in times afterward, settle upon our posterity a burthen which they can neither bear nor relieve themselves from. It will establish a precedent in America that may, and in all probability will, be pursued by the sovereign authority until it brings upon us that ruin which it has never failed to bring, or is inevitably bringing, upon all the nations of the earth who have had the temerity to make the experiment.

6. But the grand nostrum will be a public debt…
11. As soon as sufficient progress in the intended change shall have been made, and the public mind duly prepared according to the rules already laid down, it will be proper to venture on another and a bolder step toward a removal of the constitutional landmarks.

......”Greece will have tough times no matter which way the vote goes.”......
Certainly .....A “no” may lead to a chaotic departure from the shared euro currency and even “yes” is no guarantee the creditors will agree to lend.
The ultimate deadline is July 20, when a €3.5bn bond is due to the European Central Bank..... Defaulting on the ECB almost certainly means the central bank will pull all aid to Greek banks,.... forcing them to print a new currency in order to reopen.$$$$$$$
And also a No vote does not mean a Greek Exit from the EU... there is a chance that, despite all the rhetoric, ‘creditors ‘reopen talks after Greeks vote No.
So July 20th is really the line to cross or not.
Tough Sh*t.
This is always how socialism ends. Some have just not ended, yet.
Rather than rely on pensions and exorbitant pay from the government, the citizens of Athens should arm them selves and capture Corinth or maybe thebes. The captured populations should be enslaved.
Then rather than not working and depending on the government, Athenians could bask in the work products of the enslaved.
That is the Geek way. Conquer and enslave
