70% decided to be rich. 79% decided that it would be better with vakelaki than without?
and 99% decided not to allow unbased comments 😛
Yes, we are 99%. I really have a problem. All my freinds in greece are working at two or three jobs, and they have no money at all in their pockets. Do you know a way to help them out, without feeding the fat politician and reaches. Im really concerned about the poor people, my friends and family, let the rich ones eat their money, but the other ones are not guilty.
Whats the best way to help?(yes, i know: i should send you all my money)
rejecting the loan agreement does not mean they accept fakelaki. BTW: low wages promote corruption, as everybody knows.
Although it is very understandable that a huge majority rejects both the return of the Drachma as well as the MoU it is most likely impossible to get both wishes granted at the same time. Sure, this is a choice between Scylla and Charybdis but if there was someone you could suggest a viable third way, he or she would probably made prime minister instantly.
no politician here has any sustainable idea. It’s jus tthe other side that has but the system rejects it 150%.
It is foolish for Greece to stay in the Euro. This currency, and its manipulation by the Euro Central Bank is clearly skewed to favour the north, particularly the 4th Reich, to the cost of the southern countries- facts make this indesputable.
A return to the Drachma could well result in short term hyperinflation but long term competitiveness and prosperity- look at turkey! When Greece entered the Eurozone Greece was far ahead of turkey, and now sub third world!
We are not talking theory, but fact as revealed by events.
Max Keiser is correct- A return to silver backed drachma is the way to go. If Greece had done that when he first suggested it, she would already have started to recover.
90% of the crisis is created by crisis creating deflationary economics which can only destroy even the healthiest economy.
Anybody with the most basic economic knowledge knows this to be obvious.
Only a Greek traitor or predatory capitalist eager to enslave an entre country for eternity and steal all her considerable mineral wealth could support more loans and even staying in the eurozone.
