The EU and the Euro is a joke. All this bickering and name calling I am sure is making international investors very nervous. Plus they look like a joke. When will the ruling elite in Europe realize it is over. Its like a falling out amongst thieves. When the economy turns down at the end of this year you will see the Euro collapse. Capital flight soon. Still pretending the 'troika' plan does not work. The plan is fine, Greece simply never implemented it.
Example: There are six times more civil servants per habitant 'working' in Greece than in Germany. That means 5 out of six civil servants could be fired. That cannot be done quickly, so the savings target set by the Troika was just 50%. The Greek government was unable to fire any significant amount so they cut wages by 50% instead to obtain the same number of savings. Obviously that does not have the same effect, that demotivated all civil servants. They should have fired at least 50% and give a pay rise to the remaining bunch to motivate them to keep up the level of service....Greece - None of the Troika have simply implemented anything here, least of all Draghi, with his selective Greece to be excluded, QE program. The problems with Varoufakis and Tsipras are: One, Syriza is not prepared to take Greece out of the EZ, and two, they were naive to think that they could exact change by simply stating their grievances. As things stand now, Tsipras will be forced to sell the worst of defeats as victory, and believe me, the Greek people will figure it out quickly. He can only win by doing something monumental here, and he's not prepared to do it. Tsipras appears to be playing at revolutionary. "No, Greece can't leave, it would mean the end of the world..." How nice of Varoufakis to be concerned about the well being of those who chose to destroy Greece. What a guy! "We're all Euro peons", now is it it? No, actually, just the Greeks are being treated like peons. ... If it is your intent to milk a cow, you work the teats gently, lest she kick your head off. This tact works across the political spectrum... cows as you know, don't discriminate...laughs
