Joining a single currency without political union will not work. This is a perfect example.

I read somewhere that the IMF have raked in £2.8 billion in interest from Greece. Is that a lot? Serious question, they borrowed circa €230 billion and also had €40 billion written off. Suddenly, given the risk involved, €2.8billion doesn't seem so much. Not exactly Wonga rates. You're talking about it like its pocket change. Where do the banks get their money from? They just produce it to order and charge interest on it. It's created out of thin air literally. No wonder the banks are doing so well. Yes a central bank can print money but why don't they just continue to print and print away until every problem is financially solved? One word.....Inflation.......If that goes south the economy becomes a disaster zone. Printed money has to be carefully directed.

Two things they need to sort out. They have a million civil servants and they retire at 58.

Greek women are stunningly beautiful goddesses until some point in their 30's when they go to bed gorgeous and wake up as a wrinkled, stooped and haggard old bag. Ark at me getting all political!
