Germany rejects Greek loan request

The Mediterranean countries, as part of the EU, were supposed to slowly become more like Germany. Greece is doing just the opposite!

[blueunicorn6]

GREECE: “We are doing what is best for our people!”

GERMANY: “That’s exactly the same thing we are doing.”

GREECE: “It’s not fair to do the same as us.”

GERMANY: “A fair is where you go to get corn dogs and ride the Ferris Wheel. Go try that.”

There's another post stating that Germany's military is in such bad shape that their troops are using brooms to simulate guns. If northern Europe wants to survive, it has to get serious about defending itself and reversing the invasion. The EU can't afford to subsidize the poorer countries. The bankers and globalists prosper, Europe disintegrates.

Sound familiar?

Good Point, the powers behind the Euro turned a blind eye to the cooking of the books. Now that it is falling apart, the do not have the political cover with its citizens. So to be clear, it is the common people that are upset at Mediterranean countries

The problem for Greece is that they have such a high degree of Welfare and Government Employee spending that their economy has relied on borrowed money to meet government payroll and socialist welfare payments to people on the Dole.

Greek Socialist policy has killed the private sector and made a huge majority of the population dependent upon welfare or government spending.

Greece has no other real private sector economy capable of supporting it's people because so many either depend on welfare for their survival or depend on government make work jobs administrating those welfare programs.

The minute the borrowing stops, the economy model becomes unsustainable

Obama is doing the same thing here which is the reason he is so desperate to support Greece. If their house of cards falls apart, so does Obama’s

[Viennacon]

Do it Greece! Collapse the EU!

[Bluestocking]

What’s going on is exactly the opposite of what the citizens of Greece emphatically voted for several weeks ago.

Greece’s new prime minister won election on the promise that he would default on Greece’s loans and pull the country out of the Euro. So what is he doing defying his supporters by trying to make deals with Germany just as his failed predecessors did?

The new Greek prime minister is as bad as John Boehner and Mitch McConnell who have defied last November’s overwhelmingly Republican voters by acting as if Congress were still in the hands of the Democrats.

If defaulting on loans brought catastrophe, Argentina, which twice in the last two decades stopped paying its debts, would be in much more dire straits than Greece. All the Greek voters wanted was to be as well off as the Argentinians, yet its new prime minister refuses to honor his promises.

And how bad can it be to be out of the Euro when thriving countries like Britain and Switzerland are also out of the Euro?

[GeronL]

He is going to deny us the fun of watching what happens when they default? Has he explained to his people that, despite what they all voted for, they cannot keep spending money they do not have into infinity?

He is going to be accused of mental anguish as everyone who still has a productive job applies for mental health benefits.

[GeronL]

The EU can't afford to subsidize the poorer countries

and that means, they should not be importing these other poor countries either through unchecked immigration

Ha...they might all want to go to Zakynthos....and claim to be blind

Greek 'island of the blind'? More like 'island of welfare cheats' www.csmonitor.com/.../Greek-island-of-th... The Christian Science Monitor

Apr 30, 2012 - On a Greek island, at least 600 are suspected of falsely claiming to be blind to ... The scandal of the fake blind people on Zakynthos.
