                        oh how the once mighty have fallen.
But they are kinda in a screwed postion. You can either increase Profits or decrease expenses, and Greece can't do either.

                        Greeks can't handle money to save their asses. Given every chance, they still dry fucked themselves raw. Feel the burn.

Greek was living far beyond its means for ages. This definitely wasn't the IMFs fault. And it's not even just the IMF Greek owes a shitload of money too. The IMF wasn't even the biggest stakeholder of Greek debt. If Greece completely defaulted on everything it would be the Germans who really take it up the ass over it.

                        I think I heard that Greece will be completely out of money by Monday. Then chaos ensues. This should be good. *grabs popcorn*

Don't be so short-sighted. If it weren't for the actions of the IMF, corrupt politicians, the completely flawed design of the euro-zone and major banking institutions over the past 70 years Greece would not be in the state of duress it is now.

Just because parliament accepted the proposal doesn't mean a decision has been made. We'll have to wait a bit to hear the final conclusion. Of course, I'm not sure if they even have a choice at this point.

I've learned more about the situation since I made that post but acting like Greece needed outside pressure to turn into a complete fucking mess is a delusion. Greece wasn't so much living beyond its means as it was constantly bloating its bureaucracy with partisan appointments that it couldn't get rid of in government transitions due to laws that entrenched their employees. Having a massive, useless government that nobody was paying for is a huge problem and one that falls entirely on Greece.

INTERNAL AFFAIRS ARE INTERNAL AFFAIRS. GREECE HAD HUGE DEFICIT SPENDING AS WELL AS CLOSE TO UNLIMITED BORROWING FROM THE UNION DUE TO THE EURO MAKEOVER. IT'S ALSO THE FACT THE COUNTRY STATE DOESN'T TAX IT'S CITIZENS, HENCE NO STABLE REVENUE BETWEEN THE GOVERNMENT AND IT'S CITIZENS. AND THE POLICIES IT HAS ARE LAZY.
AND DON'T ASK ME ABOUT LAZY POLICIES. I DON'T KNOW WHAT GREECE HAS AND WHAT THEY ARE.
GERMANY SAVING GREECE WAS STUPID. AND THEN SHIT HAPPENS. IF THEY'RE KICKED OUT OF THE EURO UNION, THEY CAN'T PRODUCE EUROS IN THEIR OWN COUNTRY LET ALONE THEIR OLD CURRENCY.
THEY SOLD THEIR DRACHMA PRINTING PRESSES FOR EXCHANGE TO EURO.
THEIR SCREWED ANYWAY YOU LOOK AT IT, BARRING THE OBVIOUS THAT MOST OF GREECE'S PEOPLE BECAME THE POOREST PROSTITUTES THIS SIDE OF WEST EUROPE. EVEN EAST EUROPE HAS BETTER STANDARDS.
IMPLYING. HUE.
I wonder if they'll auction off the Parthenon.
THE U.N. HAS A HAND IN PRESERVING HISTORICAL SITES.
SO ITS A NO GO. ON THE OTHER HAND, SINCE GREECE AND IT'S CITIZENS REJECTED THE OFFER, YOU CAN BUY THE SURROUNDING, MOTHERFUCKING ISLANDS AT LITERALLY MINIMUM CURRENCY FROM ANY COUNTRY, NOT INCLUDING EASTERN EUROPE STATES, HAHA.
IT'S PRIME REAL ESTATE BITCHES. BETTER BUY 'EM UP!

                        Greece is saved! Well, at least the banks are saved for the next few years. I felt pretty sure the Greeks would get the boot after the initial breakdown but the vote combined with Germany's commitment to the euro really made all the difference. Now to see how this all plays out now that the Greeks actually have to deliver structural reforms.
