We love Greece, but the country’s problems are EU problems and the USA tax-payer should not be on the hook bailing out Greece.... In the USA we have a gigantic debt problem of our own. If we have extra cash we should be reducing our own deficits, not pouring money into Greece though IMF. The best way to help our Hellenic friends is to get the US economy going full force so the most adventurous of us can go on vacation to Greece.
If we recover the US economy we are going to consume more products of Greece – like olive oil, ouzo, goat and feta-cheese... To help Greece I decided to post some of their Ministry of Tourism ads and ask the Obama administration to give the Greek bailout money to me so I can go on vacation there and stimulate their economy. This is a bailout I can believe in.

What I like about the bail out:
The IMF is helping to bail out Greece. One of the requirements by the IMF in order for Greece to get the funds is they must ‘privatize’ their gov’t run health care system (among other gov’t supported programs).
How much exposure will the main stream media give that?
