Greece part 2

Lets start with the facts that can't be denied:

Greece is a country of 11 million people

GDP is Aprox (fluctioating big time now) less then 300billion or less then $30,000 per person
Bailout being proposed right now is 100billion to 450billion just to keep it going for some months
Realistic estimates of bailout that would work to keep Greece afloat for a year are $30,000 per person

Greece is in decline and GDP is falling rapidly
What those that want to lend and what those that want to borrow is a wide gap

Greece is in chaos on the streets and a vast majority of Greeks are rioting

If Greece defaults it will be serious problems for other bigger far more important countries

Far bigger and more important countries are FREAKING OUT

There is a battle going on right now on what to do about Greece and the future of Europe

The banks are being asked right now to take 50% losses on everything and banks are not accustomed to that.

If the banks take 50% losses then it could push them over the edge and cause serious problems.

If the banks dont take the 50% loss then the bigger EU governments may not give Greece enough money to pay the police to stop the mobs from ripping the politicians apart.

France has the most to loose and has said that if there is nothing concrete tomorrow then Europe will implode.

France said several days ago that if nothing was done by the end of last weekend that it would all implode (the world didnt implode).

France is telegraphing weakness and at the same time playing games. Clearly the Europe didnt fold over the weakend and so its a good thing and a bad thing. Clearly France is on fragile ground.They have to threaten the markets and hope that the markets will tank when they dont get their way or ....... or just maybe they do get throttled. So this is a way of bluffing and threatening and hoping the markets and the public will respond in a way that saves your arse.

One intersting thing to me is socialized mathmatics. Its the idea that we can just tax a country a certain amount and that will be extra money ... never giving an account to the idea that if you tax and cut jobs that maybe your GDP will go down meaning less taxes.

Right now that is the most scarry thing ever that none of these freaks even our freaks like Obama get it ... if you tax the economy to death it will DIE. Meaning you will get less taxes ja dumbasses but noooooo lets just keep doing this debt hot potatoe hide the money raise the tax thingy cuz its all we know....

There is no plan B folks ... this is what we have.

Clearly there is a lot at stake and the reason why Greece is so important.

But the biggest thing to me in all of this mess has been that no one asked the Greeks. I mean my god man these guys are litteraly killing each other they are throwing petrol bombs at each other and going for broke.

Lets brake this down right now.

If 3million people were burning Washington DC and the capitol and surrounding the congress and willing to die or to kill to get their point across this would be a huge thing in America. This is the mathmatical equavilent. When that % of your population is that pissed off then its safe to say that the vast majority of your people are going one way and then if your politicians are cowering in their buildings and voting agaisnt the entire country then you have to ask why?

Who is paying them and what are they getting paid?

How long can this go on?

How much worse can this get?

Ok its time to hear from the Greeks. So I went on a project of trying to hear from the Greeks what they want and why they are pissed. I posted on different places on the internet including SF and searched very hard. What amazed me is that after posting the question here on SF my post made it to front page google in less then 24 hours which tells me that no one is actually asking the Greeks what they want. This tells me tons and it is scarry and more on that later but here are the responses:

Most of it is protesting not rioting. They are protesting because they don't want to pay for fraud committed against them. This is the derivatives fraud that involved illegal loans and the credit default swap attacks engineered knowingly by companies like Goldman Sachs. The so called bail out money goes to German/French and other banks and not the Greek people. They want their gov't out. A new gov't will either want default to be like Iceland or to re-evaluate and do like Ireland did

Because the government is finally coming to grips with how unsustainable their entitlement socialism is--and those they made the promises to aren't taking it well.

The "vast majority" of Greeks are rioting?

News to me.

Putting aside your hyperbole, yes, the Greek crises is destabilizing the EU.

Waiting in the wings is the Italian debt crises and the Spanish debt crises, and I'm informed the United Kingdom's debt crises.
 
All socialist nanny states! Populations raised to believe the right is to everything, the obligation to nothing, not even themselves.

The Spanish are in good shape. It's a perception problem in that country.

The best possible solution would be to admit Turkey to the EU. Won't happen..but it would be a huge move to resolve the problem.

Five ways the European debt crisis could affect the U.S.
27 Oct.`11 WASHINGTON – The financial crisis that began in the United States in 2008 swept across the Atlantic Ocean to Europe. Now, U.S. political and financial leaders are hoping that a tentative deal to relieve Europe's government debt crisis will prevent a similar tsunami in reverse.
They had reason to smile Thursday. Meeting for the 14th time in 21 months, Europe's leaders announced a 50% reduction in Greece's loan repayments to private lenders, a $1.4 trillion rescue fund to keep credit flowing to other troubled nations, and a requirement that banks boost their reserves by the middle of next year. The deal gave an immediate boost to financial markets; the Dow Jones industrial average closed almost 3% higher Thursday. However, the details of the deal still have to be worked out.

Banks must agree to the latest bailout for Greece, which still would leave its gross debt at 120% of its economy by 2020, down from 160%. The rescue fund replenishment likely would come from new borrowing or simply deploying more than the $600 billion already in the fund. And European banks could remain short of capital for the next eight months, threatening the flow of credit to consumers.

So despite initial enthusiasm for the deal, there is much potential for problems. Europe's ills already have damaged some U.S. interests, from multinational companies to major exporters. Individual investors have many reasons for concern, as the enthusiasm from earlier debt agreements has given way to pessimism and stock market dives. If the U.S. economy takes such a turn into 2012, Europe's financial troubles could wind up affecting the U.S. presidential election.

"The economic health of Europe is vital to the prosperity of the United States," says Daniel Price, managing director at Rock Creek Global Advisors, who was President George W. Bush's top deputy for international economics. Struggling to boost the U.S. economy, the Obama administration on Thursday reported a 2.5% annual growth rate in the third quarter — a pace that met analysts' expectations but was far below the nearly 4% growth rate of late 2009 and early 2010.

With the U.S. unemployment rate still above 9%, the administration has pressured European political leaders to solve their crisis before it gets worse. At first confined to Greece, then Portugal and Ireland, the sovereign debt crisis now threatens Italy, Spain and the European banks that hold many of those countries' IOUs. President Obama has kept in steady contact with German Chancellor Angela Merkel and French President Nicolas Sarkozy, the two linchpins of the 17-member eurozone, in the days leading up to next week's G-20 summit. On Thursday, Obama called the latest agreement "an important first step."

...just grow government & tax the Greek population to pay for it! It's working here in the USA quite well! If a country can grow government to a point where everyone is a government employee then all is well as one then has a Utopian communal form of social justice government. From then on it's just goosestep through the tulips' with the rest of the communal robots & enjoying the life of social justice equality!!!!

Europe debt crisis: EU moves too little, too late?
November 18, 2011 - Greece's new leader today submitted a draft budget while Italy has presented an austerity program. But investors are skittish as EU debate rages over how best to address the Europe debt crisis.
Europe seemed to make the right moves towards solving the eurozone’s sovereign debt crisis this week, and with the political stalemate in Greece and Italy finally broken, Europe’s leaders were hoping for a bit of breathing space. Yet markets instead have responded negatively as an increasingly fierce EU debate over the role of the European Central Bank (ECB) undermines investors' trust that the eurozone will recover. Many experts believe that the attempts of Europe’s southern countries to reform are coming too late. “All forecasts indicate that European economies are either already in recession or only a step away,” says Sebastian Dullien, an economist at Berlin’s HTW University. “Austerity will put additional pressure on these economies. They will need help from outside to sort their debts and get back to growth.”

Greek, Italian moves fail to soothe markets

Greece’s new prime minister Lucas Papademos, who heads an emergency cabinet that is supposed to keep the country from defaulting, won a vote of confidence this week with a comfortable majority. That victory allows him to now embark on reforms Greece needs to implement before it gets fresh money from the EU and the International Monetary Fund. Today Greece submitted a draft budget ahead of meetings today and tomorrow with the EU, the IMF, and the ECB.

In Rome, Italy’s new prime minister Mario Monti, the ex-central banker who succeeded Silvio Berlusconi, presented a cabinet consisting exclusively of technocrats instead of career politicians. The cabinet also presented an austerity program that, Mr. Monti said, was vital for the survival of the eurozone. “We must make sure Italy is no longer perceived as Europe’s weakest link,” he said.

But the markets didn’t buy it. Sovereign bond yields for Italy remained high, while yields for Spanish and French 10-year bonds rose – close to the critical 7 percent mark in Spain. At that level, borrowing gets prohibitively expensive. When countries like Ireland and Portugal crossed that threshold, they were forced to ask for help from the EU.

Why can't the Greek Gov't put all that debt into a single Bank and just let it fail?

Oh right, then the Greeks wouldn't be debt slaves. What was I thinkin'? :rolleyes:
