They effectively have. This car broke down many exits back. Just because other EU nations are pushing it doesn’t mean it’s still running.

Every time Greece makes any move toward "austerity", the people riot and make it clear that they have no interest in any sort of voluntary fiscal reform.

The EU are just idiots to make money available to Greece. The situation is bad, is getting worse, and will only get better after a collapse. Sending money to Greece is like the Joker piling up money so that he can set it on fire.

Stop pouring good money down that socialist hell hole.

WHY were those idiots parading yesterday? And who or what were they protesting? A government which THEY elected having to clean up the mess THEY made with widespread dole fraud and ridiculous ideas like retirement at age 50?

A workshy culture top-heavy with government workers. They may not appreciate the irony but it is hilarious to see government offices occupied by protesters, many of whom no doubt work for the civil service already. Magistrates are taking cases on a go-slow basis? No change there then.

The euro is a worst-case scenario come to life. Without the single currency currency Greece must countenance problems of its own making and the rest of Europe, while they may help Greece recover through the normal, natural economic processes, isn’t dragged down with it. Now we have the (relatively) healthy countries voluntarily infecting themselves with debt and deadbeats.

Centralized government and endless flows of tax revenue are so ingrained in the European psyche that they are now demanding that Britain participate in the euro/Greek bailout - even when the UK is not a member of the currency! The Tories are demanding exit from the EU and rightfully so but Cameron seems destined to betray his own party.

Duh, who’da thunk it? Another 300 billion euro down the rat hole. They kicked the can down the road to the same inevitable conclusion.

It is time we closed all our bases, brought all our troops home.

Let Europe burn as they created such a Parasitic Society they need to cleanse it themselves.

For too long we have kept the world at peace so the silly leftists could grow Parasite Nation while we spent our treasures keeping them from killing each other.

It is time to end it and watch them self destruct.

It’s been obvious for years. The elites just can’t come to grips with the fact that their Eurodreams are dying.

Greece might as well get it over with. The recovery won’t have a chance until after the fall.

I don’t know what will happen next. If Greece defaults, the EU will have serious problems. If they don’t, Germany has to bail them out (which won’t last long).

This is being framed as “racial” in some circles, so the EU has been very hesitant to make demands of the PIIGS.
