... Begining of the end? http://www.express.co.uk/news/world/...hdrawl-outflow IMHO, the solution lies with Greece defaulting (as they are bound to, anyway) and saying that the loan will be paid back in 100 / 500 /1000 years interest free, and then to issue Drachmas based on how many working people there are in Greece and how long they've been working. Borrowing money that can never be repaid is what the Brit and Yank governments do anyway, so it's just not Greece. The whole Tower Of Babel is based on make-believe. |

Yes, implied value with no actual basis for it is a recipe for disaster

Well the original people who thought Greece would do well in the Euro system
should be held to account for all the nasty stuff that has occurred since. Anyone who knows a bit about Greece should know that their culture would have needed to change before they could be admitted. As usual its the mainly innocent masses that end up sharing the consequences. sigh. Brian -- From the Sofa of Brian Gaff Reply address is active "harryagain" wrote in message ...

No one comes out of this blameless. |

Well, the Greeks, along with all the smaller, poorer countries, were gagging for it. It meant they could go along in their "cultural" way with no downside. No, what happened is that it meant more money for politicians, and their cro9nies and a seat at a bigger table, which turned out to be for troughing, not deciding policy. By that time it was too late. German banks lent them Euros to waste on German cars and German wind turbines, and all they had to do was to tax their serfs to pay for the interest.
