Very soon German workers are going to grasp that all the financial reserves they piled away the last two decades from not doing what a Spain or Italy did are essentially gone. Someone in Munich worked 40 hours a week until age 67 for someone in Athens not to — and for someone in Athens to demand that someone in Munich do so or else


Yeah. It amazes me that the Greek response to their financial problems was to riot. Riot against who? They caused the problem with the excess entitlements. And now they are rioting so that the rest of Europe will bail them out so that they can continue their lavish lifestyle? Even a blind man can see that the EU is doomed. Pretty soon, even the Germans aren’t going to follow orders and support this mess. Any why should they?

We have the same situation here. And, eventually, even political correctness won’t be enough to keep the real taxpayers from revolting.

No no no. The Greeks have convinced themselves this is all Germany’s fault for stealing their gold in WW2, and America’s fault for cheating them now with slick banking tricks. It’s not THEIR fault. No way....
