There’s been much loose talk in the Corporate Media about how Greece‘s social welfare system caused its current mess. Nothing could be further from the truth. Most of the loans were to buy hellishly-expensive arms that Greece didn’t need. That is, France and Germany extended loans to Greece so that French and German armaments concerns would profit and French and German workers would be employed. Now, they’re expecting the Greek workers to pay the bill for their enrichment… not what you’re hearing in the press, is it? In short, Merkel and Sarkozy are lying SOBs… Greece didn’t benefit in the least from these loans… they did! I say, let the default come… it’ll give Sarkozy and Merkel a sharp and salutatory lesson on economics… and in human decency, too. They pulled a shell game… and are expecting to get away with it. Remember, France and Germany benefited from the loans… why don’t they go after the French and German corporations that made out like bandits? After all, they were the only ones to profit from all of this. We’ll have to see…
