Greeks stop paying electricity bills.

What is strange about Greece is....Nothing.  Like Argentina they periodically run through cycles of debt and default, yet banks are always there to lend them money that they can never pay back.

Now...why are banks always so eager to lend the likes of Greece and Argentina money, when they know these countries are terrible credit risks?

Answer this question, and you will begin to see the scam.




PS.  If I were Greek, I'd tell the Euro good riddance!The answer is simple and the same as why the United States spent Billions and Billions on its economic bailout. They are afraid that if the Greek economy collapses all of the European Economies will melt down with them.

Greece is going down, Iceland... Sold to the highest bidder. Ireland is going down, Italy too... Spain and Portugal, they are on their way there also, are they not? Germany just turned Socialist (Which may or may not be a good thing for them - time will tell)

...At this rate, we will soon be the only ones standing. I told them this single currency and shared economy might be a terribly bad idea. Did they listen? No.

Germany just turned Socialist

I think that was France, Asmo.

A gift tag attached to the horse, which is surprisingly light for its size and has small holes along the length of its body, suggested that it should be placed in the bank's vaults overnight to avoid it being targeted by thieves.

Do they think the Europeans have cash in their vault?
Sheesh, their idea of a bank is as outdated as their hat.




Maybe I'm looking at this the wrong way, was the Greek economy the horse that the Europeans took within their defences?

It's a good hat, Pudding. 

A Greek giant horse left in front of a bank in the dead of night? I've never heard someone use the phrase "literature is about to repeat itself again before..." Might apply really well here
