Quote from misterno:

That will never happen

Greece can not print its currency but we can

Even though Greece would print its own currency, they would not be able to print in excess with no inflation, but we can

We have been doing that for decades and everyone in the world seems to be okey with it

until they are no longer ok with it.

Quote from Ghost of Cutten:

Sorry am I missing something here? From what I can see, the Greek government took other people's money, promised to pay it back, and then went on an insane spending spree they couldn't afford, year after year. If you were the lender and some individual was the deadbeat, you'd be hopping mad.

Also, since when has repaying money that you *owe to other people* been serfdom? Not repaying it is fraud, negligence, and theft. That is real slavery, since you took the yield of other peoples' labour, under false pretences, and then squandered it without their consent. The savers who lent that money worked hard to accumulate it, they are the ones who are being wronged, not the morons who pissed it away.

Also this has nothing to do with the monetary system. It would be exactly the same if we were in a barter system and Greek borrowed 1 million cows, promised to return 1.5 million in a few years, and then ate them all at lavish banquets. Back in antiquity, if the Greeks had borrowed some gold from the Romans then not paid it back, they would have been invaded, conquered, thrown in debtors prison, and their populace sold into slavery to repay. Right now all they have to do is default and they get off scot free - no court can jail a single Greek politician, official, or voter for not paying.

In short, these arseholes have fuck all to complain about. Any other debtor in the world or throughout history gets treated far worse than a sovereign debtor. So spare me the pathetic, whining pity party.

our monetary system steals wealth by letting banks create money out of thin air. and being able to collect interest on money they don't have. then if you default your real property is taken from you. yes the monetary system has everything to do with it.


" The few who could understand the system will either be so interested in its profits, or so dependent on its favours, that there will be no opposition from that class, while on the other hand, the great body of the people mentally incapable of comprehending the tremendous advantage that capital derives from the system, will bear its burdens without complaint, and perhaps without even suspecting that the system is inimical to their interests."

Quote from newguy05:

What i dont understand is why everyone in greece is so mad at the government for taking the bailout trying to save their own country from a major depression.

Most Greeks already know the score. Taxes and fees are going to soar, government services drop and a lot of pain is coming. The question is, how will the pain be distributed? Greece is amazingly corrupt by US standards. Bribes and kickbacks are a regular, accepted part of doing business. The pain would be unevenly distributed even under a perfect government. You can't just tax everybody 50% more, some people will pay more, some pay a lot more. Some people will get less, some a lot less.

So we have a corrupt system doling out "punishments". And that's what the unions, the demonstrations and the strikes are about. They are saying "dole it out to somebody other than us!"
