they didnt suck the cocks of the rich like the US did.

Funny how you mention that after I just finished reading my weekly
financial stuff.

Turns out those in the know are not really worried about Greece at all
because they are small enough not to.

They are worried about Germany, population is actually shrinking and the
debt, like the US is gone nuts.

No people means no one paying the bills and it is inevitable that
Germany will go under. Which is the real worry why we should stay away
from Europe unless the returns are really go in a short term only basis.

A local lesson, Saskatchewan, 1.5 million people at peek, socialist as
it gets, probably more so 20 years ago than any other part of North
America. Taxes so high, you were working to the end of July for the
government. Unemployment soared, birth rates down and people left the
province by the thousands!

Eventually Saskatchewan hit the debt wall, they could not borrow.
Forcing a 30% cutback in government. Now 6 years later, after some
lowering of taxes people are slowly moving back and once again growing
providing a larger tax base.

Go figure. Smaller government works.
