[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 5223878, member: 24302"] He keeps saying they're treating one European people as expendable. Read what he is saying. The Greeks wanted to spend a lot of money on their people. They couldn't pay for it all so they borrowed money to pay for it. When they couldn't make the payments they wanted other European countries to just write off the debt rather than tightening their belts(austerity) and making the lower restructured payments on the debt that they incurred. It's everyone else's problem but theirs. You have repeatedly talked about how things are so wonderful in Europe. Nothing is free and if you can't pay for it you have to do without. If you can pay for it great. Just don't expect others to rescue you if it turns out you can't. The EU did rescue Greece. They restructured debt so that the payments can be made as long as the Greeks stop spending on things they can't afford and spend it on the debt they incurred. That's life. Things will get better for the Greeks after they pay off their debt as long as they live within their means. But the fantastic benefits they chose to offer their citizens won't ever happen again unless they develop an economy that can afford it. That's life and saying they can when they can't won't change anything. [/QUOTE]
