The Greeks have been caught lying, again, about their ability to meet defict reduction targets, and the Austrians are about ready to throw in the towel and renege on their EUR190 million contribution scheduled to be paid to Greece in December.

I wonder if the rest of the US can say that to California?

[RobRoy]

I think there is only one simple and real solution to this: The workers in Greece should go on strike!

It would be great to have something like this happen in our country. All taxes go to the states and then the states forward a portion to the Federal government.

Don’t like the direction the feds are taking the country? The voters of any state can decide to cut the monies sent to the feds.

[Red Badger]

They don’t want to throw good money after bad.
I can’t say that I blame them.
Perhaps Greece should just be allowed to fail.............

[BlackVeil]

I imagine the Austrian taxpayers have just about had enough of this. And there are rumours of bailouts for Portugal and Ireland as well.

Uh-oh, busted...the Greeks will be stuffing more than grape leaves.

Maybe the “big one” will hit and kalifornia will drop off into the ocean - problem solved.

The Government workers should. That should do the trick. They will turn on their communist masters soon.

Greece is the farm team for Obamanomics.

Has not China not already offered to bailout Greece as a means of dumping US dollars into the EU as a way of disposing them?

They will turn on their communist masters soon.

Not while there are still "rich" people.

[screaminsunshine]

In Greece the rich are the communist elite. Coming soon to your neighborhood.

Started by an alien from Planet Utopio?

[screaminsunshine]

Europa? A moon. Utopio...an unknown planet. Karl Marx was an alien from Utopio. Sent to Earth to soften it up for the invasion.

[Stonewall Jackson]

Karl Rove and President Bush had a hurricane machine. Do you think the mad scientist who made it for them could be talked into making an earthquake machine? ;-)

[mojito]

The Chinese have indeed been buying Greek government bonds.

The Austrians are balking at providing direct loans to Greece through the European Central Bank (ECB).

Maybe a few nukes in the Nevada desert, and if we’re lucky maybe we can get harry reid to stand at ground zero.
