The Greeks will vote to continue sponging off the Germans. It will be a landslide. And it will be the end of the Euro.

Wie viel Reichsmarks haben Sie?

I don't know. I think the Greeks will vote down the proposal. It won't be a landslide. And it will be the end of the Euro.

Greece already defaulted a long time ago. The others in the EMU just offered to repudiate half of the debt for Greece and give Greece a huge sum of money in return for Greek “austerity measures” (spending cuts, yes, but also more tax hikes in socialist countries of southern Europe).

What was the EU thinking in letting Greece into the EU??? You would of thought they would of...

1. Checked their books
2. Researched their tax structure
3. Researched their business climate/infrastructure
4. Audited their social welfare system/attitudes

Apparently not. Now they’ll pay big time.

Even a blind man would realized that Greece was a no-go. They had no business in the EU.

If Greece doesn’t turn into Mad Max, they’ll end up like Argentina: Assimilate all pensions and sell off all tangible assets to outside corporations.
