Actually the Greeks screwed themselves, almost killing Europe in the process.
They used cooked books to join, then they continued cooking the books for twenty odd years to claim benefits that they were never entitled to. If i remember right, 50% of the country never paid their taxes. It wasn't until they joined the euro that their criminality was found out. Having been found out they tried to play the victim. We gave them money on the promise that they would stop extracting the urine, they took the money, twice i think, and told everyone to shove it afterwards, hence the trouble they are in now. |
