GUEST,Musket bemused BS: Greece in meltdown? What do you think? (232* d) RE: BS: Greece in meltdown? What do you think? 13 Jul 15


It has to be said.. Whilst Greece has never been good at collecting taxes whilst rather good at spending them, the media estimates of percentage collected etc conflict with IMF estimates, so merely becoming more efficient isn't going to cure the problem.

They are in danger of reaching the stage that Jim seems incapable of understanding. The point where pensioners and public sector workers can scream about having earned their money all they like, but if the government has run out of cash, the money isn't going to arrive.

The EU are not innocent in this. However, those bleating about how they perceive the Greeks are being treated unfairly would be the first to kick off if The EU has said "you can't join us because you are irresponsible and corrupt."

Catch 22.
