So are the measures approved by the parliament today exactly what Germany and France want? It seems like we've been through this before, Germany and France demand austerity measures, they are approved in the Greek parliament, but somehow they are not implemented? Greece is acting like a petulant child.
I was laughing at gwb's jokes as they are ones that will be making the rounds this week on late night TV.
Swap means to exchange one thing for another, not steal something, that is swipe.

This link is the basis of the explanation. The Germans want somebody other than their own citizen taxpayers to get the hot poker of financial past stupidity and future financial responsibility up their ass. Of course it's more complicated as there are more elements that have to agree to all terms and conditions. The whole affair is a farce worthy of a Beavis and Butthead episode and will come apart at the seams as it amounts to the Germans attempting a jackbooting of the PIGGS into financial subservience. If I were running Greece I'd tell them to eat shit and die and leave the EU as the suffering of the Greek people would not be any greater and they won't have a Nazi tax collection kiosk at the end of every street.

Thanks,
I'm pretty sure we used the term "swapped", at least until debit cards became popular, and maybe that's when we started using the term "swipe". But i digress.
Here's a quote from the article, which seemed pretty vague to me:
I really want to know who is this "Private Sector", all official sounding replete with capital letters and an acronym. Should i be translating this as Non-Transparent Sector Involvement (NTSI)? It seems to me that the problem could be solved by letting a few Greek citizens in on a Private Placement Program (PPP), with the understanding that they would give 70% of the profits to Greece, for humanitarian purposes.
I'm really not getting this yet. There wasn't one word about Germany in the article, and yet you say they are A.) at risk of being reamed, and, B.) in a position to be some sort of jack-booted collection agency. Which is it?
Another solution might be to just give Greece the 134 billion in 1934 Federal Reserve bonds that the Italians took from two guys trying to cross into Switzerland with them a couple months ago or so.
What i want to know is, who has so much money that they can so graciously let Greece off the hook for 100 billion...without going broke themselves? Seriously, where is the money coming from that is being loaned to Greece in the first place, far more than they can possibly repay????
Curious how long will this cash last Greece, won't they need more money again in a few months so all this will just repeat?
zing!!!
