Greece bailout: Coalition fail to agree cuts

wellused

I believe that the 3 coalition party's have 48% of the vote but the opposition consists of Communists, marxists, Greens, and fascists who will never agree to anything. I also believe that Greece has a large defence budget, maybe they could start taxing the rich and cutting defence, or is it too late for that?

Scrap that. Although Greece has now agreed to the cuts, the Euro Minister are now saying Greece is not ready and the plan is not at a point where it can be signed off.

I.e. The Euro Ministers want more.

And the Greek populace will react accordingly.

I think we'd best have some meetings. Probably favourable to delay them too.

This is getting sillier by the minute:

1. The Greek puppet PM announces that he has forged a deal with the other parties just hours before the ECOFIN meeting
2. The Greek opposition parties pledge to vote down any deal if they win the April election
3. The Troika announce that in return for the money they want all Greeks to adopt a new national dress (sack cloth) and find even more cuts to the budget

So when PapaGoldmanSachs announced "we have a deal", clearly what he meant to say was "I was installed to get a deal so I'm going to say that I have a deal but actually I don't have a deal".

Only one option open for the Greek people. Revolution against this charade. At least the Wehrmacht gave a visible sign that the country was being invaded. The Troika is trying to do it by stealth.

I take it that's a pee take!?

Ultimately I'm not sure, as it sounds as if actually, it could be true what with everything else going on!!

Someone needs to just put Greece out of its misery...

So what good would a revolution do them?

They have no money and no way of raising it.
