Amusing how Greece scoffs at Turkey's admission to the EU because Greece feels Turks are uncivilized piss ants. That and the fact they have hated each other forever.

There is a lot of wealth in Greece. Just the government doesnt have any of it!

Exactly, spending is the problem ... if you cannot reduce and control your spending then it doesn;t matter how much you steal through taxation because it will never be enough

That's true. If you never spend a single cent you won't ever be in debt. Try that at home kids.

Spending money you dont have is the problem. Why did all those stupid bankers keep giving the Greeks money?

I visited Greece when I was stationed in Germany. One of the things our tour guide pointed out was the royal guard in front of the palace wearing kilts with hundreds of pleats. Each pleat represented a year of Ottoman rule.

Yeah, if anyone knows how to hold a grudge, it's the Greeks.
