 No Resolution Reached at Greek Austerity SummitPosted on May 27, 2011
A group of Greek leaders fell short of reaching an agreement on Prime Minister George Papandreou’s austerity plan by week’s end, putting Greece on shaky ground in terms of the country’s chances of receiving more bailout funds from the IMF, according to the BBC.

Do what Iceland did, let the banks default.
Why should the people bail them out? they are a ‘for
Report thisprofit’ business and should suffer the wrath of their
poor business decisions based on their greed.
==================================
Abso-damn-lutely! F the banks! Learn from the
Icelanders; they did the right thing.
They’re now going to export green electricity to their
former suppressors. How ‘bout them apples?

Greece can not ensure its solvency BECAUSE of the IMF and the world-wide, offshore, banking mob-crime syndicate.
Mr.JUNKer’s programmmeee of “privatization” includes handing over islands, land and resources that rightly belong to the Greek people.
If a criminal commits a fraud on you, I am sure that the law will not require you to fulfill that “contract” and continue to pay the criminal.
Its a ridiculous premise. I would have liked to hear more about what Antonis Samaras had to say.
I think perhaps one of the things that he would say is that the world banks should not assume that Greece wants any more of these loanshark “loans”. They would prefer to keep their country. One tranche of loans leads to another tranche of loans…. like heroin.
But I don’t know for sure, since BBC didn’t give him the courtesy of interview.

The Greek people need to smash the entire state with revolutionary, insurrectionary actions. These suits are worthless.
