The United States and other members of the Group of Eight industrial nations expressed hope Saturday that Greece will remain in the Eurozone, anxious to keep its economic troubles from spreading around the world. The leaders said all of the nations have an interest in the success of efforts to strengthen the eurozone and help Europe's economy grow.
President Barack Obama said the leaders agreed that Europe's financial crisis must be addressed with a mix of growth and austerity measures, as they huddled for a shirt-sleeve discussion that also covered world concerns about ups and downs in oil prices.
The leaders, in a joint statement from the rustic presidential retreat, reflected both hope and a recognition of the daunting economic challenges they face.
Too bad, the decision’s not theirs to make anymore.
Hold on to your wallet,Obama’s about to bail them out.
Message to Greece: You need to trim government spending, cut down on the costs of your publicly funded health care system, increase taxes, and lower wages and benefits.
Message from: Nations that are approving increases in public salaries and benefits, increasing health care costs, not increasing taxes...
Do as we say, do not do as we do.
I thought G-8 doesn’t exist anymore?
