Greece is sliding sown a slippery slope
[QUOTE=Capitulazyguy;26099099]lol Eurozone[/QUOTE] Greece lied about it's economic condition to get into the eurozone.
[QUOTE=w 1 z;26092444]if anything is to blame for Greece's current economic state it's the 2004 Olympics. The total cost for the Olympics to be held there was an estimated €10 billion. The Greek government payed 14% of that total (€4.6 billion~) and given that Greece was the smallest country in 50 years to hold the Olympics and one had one of the smallest economies the games fractured Greece's economy. What were seeing are those fractures becoming cracks and those cracks giving way to the pressure of their current deficit.[/QUOTE] 14% of 10 billion is not 4.6 billion.
Well they abused the euro as fuck, they had pension when you are 55years old, they had fucking insane grants for pretty much everything. OH NO! THIS DONT WORK WE SPEND TO MUCH MONEY! Then when they change the grants, pension and pretty much everything back again the population goes on a rampage. In short everyone in Greece can go fuck themselves for being so greedy.
