I thought they told the EU to stick it where the sun don’t shine last week.

So the votes of the people don’t matter after all. Doesn’t matter—Greece is hosed either way.

I wonder how the Greek population is going to feel about their leaders accepting more unpayable loans and more slashes in their personal finances, after they voted against that.

The Euros are fools if they trust this Marxist to do what he’s totally against.

“Greece officially submitted a request for a three-year loan facility from the European Stability Mechanism also promising to implement tax reform, and pension measures”

Cue up Wimpy’s “I’ll gladly pay you Tuesday for a hamburger today.”

The referendum was just a pacifier for the masses anyway. Austerity was always going to happen either by intention or economic reality.

Years ago I was at a dinner in Paris. I was seated next to a Greek architect. He was an older, dignified gentleman in a lovely tuxedo. He proceeded to tell me about the leisurely pace of life in Greece as opposed to the US. He said it was not unusual to go to dinner at 9 p.m. and stay five or six hours. Since he said this was even on work nights I wondered at the Greek work ethic.

This is like when your deadbeat, crack-addicted brother comes to you after refusing treatment a hundred times, VOCIFEROUSLY, and says, “Ok. I give up. Just give me 1000 more dollars, and I will enter treatment next week.”

The proposal reportedly contains some degree of debt forgiveness. So it’s still a win for them.

So Tsipras backs down even after winning the referendum, guess he was never serious about anything. More extend and pretend. I wonder how the people and his own party are going to react to this?
