While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.' -

The big question is who gets splattered. If Greece's exit from the euro is as messy as I think it will be they will take Italy and Portugal with them (in the long run).
Cue the age of the banking collapse, credit crunch 2 and potentially fairly ugly scenes on OUR streets and it is not just another tulip happens moment. This is gonna hurt.Knock first as I might be balancing my chakras.Comment

Originally posted by suityou01 View PostNot sure how long it is until they run out of money. When was the previous bailout, you know the one before the last one.

You can understand the Greeks protesting after all they are going to raise the retirement age to 65.They're also not going to replace civil servants who retire, and they will have to pay a bit more tax.
So basically they have a choice, either they accept this, which obviously isn't nice, or they end up still being able to retire at 61, keep their public sector jobs and receiving IOU's from the Government.I'm alright JackComment
