"I'd say that the much-vilified Greeks would work just as hard as the Germans if they could, even if they had their accustomed government benefits cut by several degrees."

Yeah! All summer long, while the Greek government was cutting vacations and raising the retirement age from 55 to 60, the Greeks were rioting to go back to work!

Meanwhile back in Deutschland, the Germans were working for pensions that start at 65-70 so their Greek brothers could maintain their cushy life style!

Typical Olog-hai logic.

You really should try reading the news sometime. AFAICR, it was the Communists that were rioting in Greece, yes? Nobody was rushing down to Greece out of the "heart of Europe" to get Greeks back to work, that's for sure—and you can bet that they won't care about how many Greeks remain unemployed after all the dust settles.

But I guess that someone who names himself after a plane that murders Americans doesn't care about facts like that.
