LOL! dude "Plunder" is the thing that got the Greeks into this mess....
they stole from the rich and got a great welfare state... that they cannot now pay for....
sorry.... you got it backward.
No. It is no different than here. The mess in Greece was due to total over spending and mismanagement of funds by the government and borrowing more than they could repay.
It is intended programming of the media to call the Greeks "responsible" and the fix is "austerity.
Translation: We are ending democracy in Greece and transferring your assets to the Banks. If you disobey us, we will bring in tanks to protect the banks.
That is the truth of this situation. Simple but true.
BS. Greeks spent too much and didn't tax enough to pay the bills. Now those who own their debt want to get payed or the country defaults. The spoiled brats protesting in the streets would be eating tree bark if they got their way and nothing got resolved and the country defaulted.

Substitute "Americans" for "Greeks" and you have the same playbook.

Here are some pics of the "spoiled brats".
For those of you who don't know, this is what revolution looks like. NO FEAR!

Not exactly, Greece doesn't control its own currency and they don't have the luxury of their currency being the world's currency. That said, we will see spending cuts, revenue raised, and entitlements reformed sometime down the line.
Imagine seeing that break out in any town USA.... Devalue people savings, take food off the shelves and you will be amazed how people can react. The collective bank plutocracy siphoning off the wealth of a country and it's people.
If you think this is bs, you are not paying attention.

Don't count on this lasting much longer...
