Does this indicate a move AWAY from their failed socialism and toward a free market based economy?

So, he wins the vote yesterday and then decides to resign.
What was the point of the vote?

This won't solve anything.

Greece, the rest of Europe, and the United States have to stop the bleeding.

The open wound is entitlements paid to an aging population that is working less, gone on disability, retired early, or given up working altogether.

During the 1930's, the US was sick economically, but in terms of innovation we were making incredible strides in electronics, manufacturing, transportation, plastics, synthetics, aviation, and bio-medicine.

Today, we are limping along like a sick dog.

Politicians refuse to tell their voters the truth: the voters have promised themselves endless checks and benefits that no nation can afford.

I fear that the only "solution" will be total global meltdown. That is the only thing that will shake voters and citizens out of their fantasy delusion that the retirement, social security, Medicare, Medicaid, and disability checks will keep on rolling in forever.

Unfortunately, that "solution" is also the nuclear option. Our world will be destroyed, and remade under what I can only guess will be a one-world totalitarian regime under the thumb of pure evil.

From my point of view it appears to be just another case of ‘kick the can down the road’. My question is why? Are they hoping for an economic or banking miracle? Or are the trying to delay as long as possible so as to remove their nest eggs from a failing system and therefore be set up for whatever happens in the future?

So..uh...how did that socialism thing work out for you, George?

I sincerely hope that this will indicate a move toward a free-market economy for Greece, the so-called “Cradle of Democracy”.

More importantly, how many days will the “coalition” last before it collapses?

“In the grand scheme of things, Greece is too small,” he said.”

I guess mathematical genius Randolph has never heard of brittle or unstable systems or the butterfly effect.
