The future of Greece

My point was that politicians go into government and do whatever they want. They do not represent the populace. The politicians agreeing to debt should not obligate the citizens to repay it.

 

That's a great theory but I don't see that happening in the real world.

 

No, I agree.

 

Pointless public works projects to support the massive public sector employee economy. New roads to nowhere, marinas without boats, other general stupid stuff. I guess the hope was that infrastructure improvement would stimulate growth.

Now it they could get people to pay taxes....

 

Greece needs more debt relief after third bailout deal in five years, says IMF chief

Germany needs to dig deeper to make it work, it seems.

 

Greece needs to be allowed to fail.
