I heard Greece could use some money

The greeks are miserable because none of your politicians thought they ever had to pay their debt.Your debt ( Greeces) is like 177 times your GDP... And the politicans of the EU made the mistake of accepting greece in the European Union, because they all lied about there economic numbers.Now you are dependant on the EU, yes, but you still have a lot of financial help. If you would have fallen without the EU ( sooner or later), there wouldn't be anyone to pay debts for you and forgive

Greece was sacrificed so eurozone (especialy Germany) could hide recession by bailing out banks (through bailing out Hreece). Greeks know and believe this. That makes their relationship with EU quite complicated.

It's Greece which wants more money. Not Germany and France.

How is Greece not accountable for Greece's debt?

yaix Jul 4, 2011 View on HN

That would not solve the problem. Greek would still not pay they money back to the French and German banks they took it from.The EU has to get Greece on track, and this is a good moment to do it. Greece has lied (falsified financial data) to get into the euro, and their internal economic system is not sustainable. These will be tough year for Greece but at the end they will be better off.

You make it sound like Greece's debt was camouflaged against its will.
