Hmm, where to find billions of dollars in Greece. Guess you could start by cutting the cradle to grave health program in half, then end taxation and support of churches, then chop public employee retirement to a maximum of 50% of salary, then end all elected officials retirement programs, and then cut direct cash payments to the poor...

Oh, right, these are the things they want to save. Well, guess the next choice is to make public transport only half subsidized... Gosh it stinks when you run out of other people’s money.

Perhaps it is time to walk away from Greece and let that country be left to its own devices. No more loans, write down the debt and move on. More credit more debit and default postponed. Even George Soros said Greece should not have been admitted to the EU!
