So the Dutch don’t want to pay their fair share of the cost of getting Obama re-elected?
Tsk, tsk.
Yahoo, Geert. You are a bright light in a land of insanity; ie., Europe.
The Dutch gentleman is not wrong, and I wish he went further in saying the truth.
While the Greeks were the masters of their own economic and government fiscal problem, the grand drama that played out in Europe over how to “rescue Greece” showed it was NOT about rescuing Greece, it WAS about rescuing the Euro.
And, in my own opinion, and in spite of the difficult adjustments that Greece, and the Euro-zone would have had to make, I do believe that Greece would have been (and may still be) better off, in the long run, if it had taken on a managed default process that, in addition, took it back to use of its own currency.
I think the Dutchman would be helping his nation if his argument could obtain the support of a majority of his fellow citizens.
