The eurozone crisis has sown divisions in the European family, and Greece in particular has often been singled out for criticism. Has Greece been living beyond its means? Are Greeks lazy? On this second point, the statistics tell a surprising story.

First, what you read have nothing actually to do with crises and the real problem.....(bbc posted this article 1 month ago)
And Greeks and Germans they know each other very well for many years (I'm talking about politicians and major government stakeholders). Both of them are trying to make easy money by doing all their dirty tricks of the civil ppl. Greece have done business and still have with all the major German companies like Mercedes, Siemens, weapons defense companies etc.This story for some guys to make easy black money between Greece-Germany is old, they like it and as you see they still continue doing it (but the same is happening also with your country- French).
Definitely, who ever knows the basic of economics can easy understand that the austerity measures that they impose can not help so much the crises/dept. Meanwhile the actual measures can not be taken from both sides because they directly harm their interests. In other words, what you are just seeing is simple BUSINESS and nothing else.
Unfortunately, those guys are the ULTRA HIGH SKILLED PLAYERS in the real life and all the rest of us are LOW and add some more minus.
My advises:Try to remove some minus from yours real life skill.
No more comments from me.
And as i said...silva you are too young for those shits.....
-
the main problem is and was to create one currency for many countries (idealistic dreamer politicians), not really looking onto the economic strengths of the parties. i wont talk about the accountancy tricks to make financial statements look better...
now one of the problem of greece is, too many people are public servants(not sure if its the right word...) which costs the state way too much, the retirement pay is also way too high (100% from last payment possible). besides that, greece economy sadly aint one of the better ones. you lack heavy industry, car industry, chemical stuff and so on to carry a bit. greece economy is more relying on aggriculture (not meant offensive) and tourism, so they have to import more expensive goods than they can export.
imo the way to help is greece is not pumping up banks with billions over billions with literally 0 interest, which wont help anyone besdies the banks themselves. the hair cut at the moment is finally a acrtion in the right direction. but now greece needs more money invested in their economy, to boost it up, to make it more efficient - something like a dawes plan.
sorry again...
i'd really appreciate if you then could share your pov of how things really are for u as greek. thx in advance if u do.
The Greek system is corrupted for good (the higher you go the more corruption you find) and needed time and generations to pass in order to see a real change. This corrupted system is even now in business with other corrupted foreign interests. It seems that the majority of Germans/French/EU ppl didnt know that their politicians/stakeholders knew for many years what was really happening in Greece. Don't mistake me,.... I firstly and mainly blame us but there is quite a lot of blame that doesn't belong inside Greece.
The only thing that will say is don't except something miracle to happen.
(Personally i will leave the country....mainly because i have a second country.....my wife is from Serbia.....ZIVILI SRBIJA!!!!)
off-topic: but a bit on what malakomunis said - the bailout money and austerity meassures are not capable of "saving" greece from what is about to happen, it's just buying them some more time. them being the investors.
the % of indeptness is just too high to be fought by those at the current level (and those can hardly be more increased - except they'd once focus what they seem to be willing to pay on the long run - not saying that it's worth it, no grudge held, just my semiobjective view on it)
this money is sucked in by a black hole.
(geld ausm fenster werfen wäre selbst noch konstruktiver...)
