Thanks for the excellent primer!

That's what I was looking for.

I’ve spent three vacations in Greece over the last twenty years. Probably the safest place you could ever travel to. People are extra friendly and food is four-star. I’d strongly endorse a trip there (after the mess ends) because not only will you get a good decent vacation...but you get a significant view of a society living beyond their means. It’d be like Alabama with a spending plan on infrastructure like California has, but only getting the average tax revenue that the state typically has.

The metro subway system from the Athens airport to the middle of town is a five-star system....probably even better than DC has. But somehow....as you are admiring it....you just start asking how they’d ever afford it. The answer is....they can’t. The airport is the same way....probably as good as Atlanta (although half the size).
