While Detroit had the state of Michigan to bail it out by appointing an emergency manager, Greece has no such thing, although the IMF and Europe tried. Instead, Greece, being a sovereign state, has elected a government which aims to resolve its financial crises with more spending.
Finance Minister, Yannis Varufakis http://www.nytimes.com/2015/01/30/b...ies-a-more-moderate-message.html?ref=business, thinks he can have the German tax-payer support Greek socialism.
I am a Greek citizen, and find the upcoming Greek fiasco "Detroit" on a national scale, and needless to say, the complete collapse of a once-proud nation.
Sometimes insanity is defined as doing the same thing repeatedly, and expecting different results. The Greek electorate has learned almost nothing from decades of almost complete socialist rule.
