OK I haven't followed that bailout very closely but it seems like putting the austerity measure up for vote is not wise. Shouldn't that be left to economists and finance teams?
Greek citizens cannot understand the impact of a "NO" vote and I don't think they should be given the decision. Their perspective will always be from their wallets and nobody wants to go to austerity. Isn't the Greek government responsible for the mismanagement of government finances?
What bank would provide a 3rd bailout (let alone a 2nd one) to an entity that will not change the way they are keeping house?
