I’m saying they pay their debts and leave. Clearly, the German Government doesn’t care about the exploding poverty, the rapid rise of AIDS cases, or slow societal collapse of Greece. All they want is money, damn the human cost. This is why I despise Free-Market Economics. It values money more than people. I have seen very sweet friends turn into Randians.

Both the Scandivanians and Southern Europe should begin to make an Exit plan, perhaps together.

The problem is that they can’t pay their debts, PLL. These nations aren’t like the US, their economies are far weaker. Spain understands its mistakes and given time and peace can likely stabilize itself. But Greece isn’t even able to grow its economy, because it can’t change its laws and customs to meet market needs. As an example: many professions require a license to engage in them, and the number of licenses has never been enlarged since the colonels’ junta of the early 1970’s established the licensing system. Proposals to increase the number of taxi licenses have met with riots by the existing taxi drivers, who are unwilling to abide by competition.
