As Greece goes, so shall Puerto Rico?

So exactly what does a "No" vote mean? Originally Posted by Jackie S

Similar to what happens in America when time comes to raise the debt ceiling.

Now that I agree with. Even started to talk to Russia about getting help with the Rubles...Just to add a little threat.

The Greeks take their Socialism and unwillingness to work, to heights unseen in the modern world.

Isn't that about the same as going to "Rocco" down on the docks to help you out with a car payment.

A "NO" vote means that the people of Greece don't want anymore belt tightening and that the socialist Prime Minister pulled out a win.

So now what happens? The EU, lead by Germany, pulled Greece's nuts out of the fire a few years ago in return for some austerity measures (delayed retirements, postponed pension payments, requirements that government employees pay for some of their own healthcare and pension programs, etc.). The new government (socialist) came into office five months with promises that the belt tightening was over and everything was going back to normal. So Greece reneged on the previous deal and they're broke again.

Greece has to go forward with some kind of plan to pay off their debts (which they claim they can't) without any help (not likely). Or they have to be bailed out again by the EU and they want a new deal. Seems that many in the EU thinks it's throwing good money after bad but what do they do? Is Greece too big to allow to fail? What happens if they become totally bankrupt? At one point a few years ago, the Greek government raided some of the money from the accounts belonging to their citizens. You know, private money.

So here is where they stand;
1. Greece goes forward without aid and into bankruptcy.
2. Greece takes a deal with the EU and accept the conditions imposed by them.
3. Greece hopes that the EU will give them some credit without a deal.

Well, a good deal is something that works for both sides, if Russia would not work for Greece.....then again how much would the EU want threat of Russia in their backyard? Might spur the EU on to concessions!

WWII was started over German austerity! Oh the irony...

They want Greece to cut government services and RAISE TAXES.

So you now think it a good idea to raise taxes to spur economic growth? Originally Posted by WTF

Only total scumbags would make such a threat, however veiled.

Does your gay ass not see the irony in Germany crying about Greece's austerity measures or lack there of?

You need another vacation because you're only making yourself look stupider and stupider with every post and I am rapidly running out of the patience needed to keep correcting you.

Russia isn't bailing out anybody. Long story short, they don't have the money. They've got financial problems of their own. They might cut a deal for some discount natural gas or some such bullshit, but the idea of them satisfying Greece's debt is not going to happen. And one could argue that the Russians like to stir up shit wherever they can, and that's true, but in this case they can't afford to. An EU that is in trouble does nothing to benefit Russia economically.

If things ever get too bad over here we will start having to ask the same hard question that the EU is asking about the Greeks who will not work.

Do we think these people will eventually start working, contributing, and help paying off the debt, or should we write them off and kick them from the community?
