Common people aren't fond of Draghi's Euro devaluation at all. They've lost quite some buying power since then. Big corporations are pleased since it's not their money going down the Greece drain. Sit back, bag the profits, exploit the workers, enjoy the government spitting one anti-laborer law after another. More jobs, better wages? haha sure Folks been sitting on the same job for 20 years without the slightest raise, while prices have increased threefold. People working like slaves for nothing.
My point is, Germany took ownership for the damage. Greek government seems to think Europe owes them something when the biggest problem is within their own borders.
I'm not saying there isn't a level of culpability in the Greek population, but the people who are really paying for this crisis aren't the people that caused it. Greece needs fundamental sociological reform, but concurrently it needs international fiscal support, not fucking austerity.
To the second sentence, agreed entirely. "The Greeks" (their leadership) should take a sizeable portion of the blame for what has happened, but punishing them via austerity serves no one.
because you still have people in greece voting for commies, and thinking that commies can solve what is inherently caused by a way of thinking inspired by the reds.

Perhaps that is how the story is being presented in America, which is not necessarily the reality of the situation. The Greek government aren't trying to avoid paying back the money, they want to pay back within reasonable terms that don't put its populace into poverty and stifle economic growth.
Stupid peasants think that they have nothing to lose if they get out the Eurogroup, they think that they have reached the bottom and cant go any worse than that.
They are worthy of whats coming to them, it is unfair though for the rest to share the same fate...

My ex girlfriends father is a top economist at the bank of Greece. Be that as it may, I know a bit more than most Americans about the Greek financial troubles.
