Thanks for the wishes gentlemen!
Thanks Doc.Best wishes in tough times!
It'd be so easy for us to "become helpful" and give you suggestions as to what Greece ought to do to fix it's problems ... but I'm getting the sense that there might have been one or two foreigners already who have made one or two gentle suggestions in that regard, and us trying to be "helpful" might come across the wrong way.
Just hopefully it doesn't come to "the full catastrophe"
Thanks for the wishes gentlemen!
Btw, where from did you unearth this clip?

They make loan sharks seem like good guysI'm not saying Greece is faultless but I would argue that you would have to be not familiar with the IMF or at least a little evil yourself to not recognize that the IMF is a very evil organization.
Greece has been on my bucket list awhile now,but Crete and Cyprus will be on the same trip,and even Malta if I can squeeze it in...Getting back to "bailouts",I was fully against the U.S. taxpayers dollars used for our bailoutS,we should have let the chips fall,it may have cleaned our system up quite a bit.
Either in or out of the Euro, tough times for Greece, no doubt. And the IMF are no saints.
But the Greeks themselves have (had?) raised tax evasion to a Worlds-Series level. No one thought that they should pay their taxes, so no one did. Like O. W. Holmes said, taxes are what we pay for civilization.
