But that's where the cookie crumbles D_A, the EU support comes at a price, and for what they are doing here, they give 'macro-economic directives' the gvt has to conform to. They apply pressure over the mid to low classes, strangling the economy, instead of going to the milions they, and their big money people have, they hit the bottom feeders.
Since being a politician turned into a profession, they aren't trusted anymore.
