The Greeks are on the receiving end of their previous governments. As I said in the other thread, their governments made their bed. By exempting the large ship owners from paying any tax, by lying themeselves into the Euro zone, for which they didn't meet the requirements as we know today, and by affording and supplying the luxury of one of the largest armies in the whole of Europe. They were spending as if there was no tomorrow. And now they're paying the bill. Sadly the wrong people, but that's not EU's fault, but the fault of Greek governments taking the steps to lead the country to the brink of bankrupcy. The EU is keeping the country afloat for several years now. The clusterfuck is an entirely national acheivement.
