A perspective on Greek financial crisis

[cryowizard]

It's much like the relationship with your parents. If you keep taking their money, you have to follow their rules regardless of your age. If Greece cannot finance itself in the debt markets, and remains dependent on Germany and France to pay its bills, Germany and France will set the rules.

Greece: "Can I have loan to build new ferries?"

Germany: "No, not until you sell off your water company!"

Greece: (Sulk)

Germany: "Stop sulking and make yourself useful. Get me some yogurt."
