Yeah, I’ve read Greece is one. That one baffles me. As they are on the teet of Europe for survival.

Not to be baffled. Greeks were better off before when the Greek government debased the drachma to pay for things.

All a Greek had to do was buy gold from time to time and he had it made.

The drachma was worthless in the rest of Europe, but who cares about that? Why would someone want to leave a paradise like Greece to go to a place like England?

The EU is trying to bring economic discipline to socialist populist governments. They don’t like that but the problem is that the EU brings them more bail out than discipline. Let them go broke rather tha remain a burden on the healthier economies. EU is a mess.
