Going Greek

[jkm, the stolen pifwafwi]

The weirdest deal in this thing was the IMF admitting that they screwed up and that they'd help Greece if the EU didn't.

I am actually glad Greece is defaulting. Perhaps the banking cartel crack dealers will think twice about continuing to loan crack to crack addicted countries which might cause the addict to get cleaned up.

*crack=debt

There are probably government/internationally supported regulations of some sort that "require" these banks, who are probably underpinned by said governments to supply the addicts with the necessary cash to keep the addition in place.

If not, I sure hope you are correct.

This move by Tsipras is rather odd. I don't think there is any way this gets approved by their legislature. I'm wondering if he was just tired of dealing with the EU?

They should take care of their tax evasion problem first........

Very curious. Looks like a step backwards for sure.

I wonder how the average Greek's standing in long lines to get a minimum withdrawl from their local bank will play into this. (Assuming they could even get into the bank before it ran out of money)

I would love to go to the IRS and work with them to determine what my yearly income is...That and the "secondary salaries" that would go with that... Must be good to be a tax man in Greece.

The Greeks approve the austerity bill to remain in the Euro.
