[quote=hisah]My advice to Greece is to follow the Iceland route. Default, get out of the euro straitjacket and handcuff the banksters and their political aides. And while at it close the IMF office like Hungary. Reset everything, turn east (NDB/AIIB/EXIM) and in 5yrs the econ will be back to normal. For the banksters chopping they should start here (Le Squid aka GS) to get to know how deep the rabbit hole is - http://www.spiegel.de/in...rue-debt-a-676634.htmlm[/quote] You expect that from the Greeks who until a while back were paying government workers a bonus for coming to work early and unmarried daughters their father's pension. What do they export apart from olives and tourism? Argentina survived because of commodities the Greeks can't.

You expect that from the Greeks who until a while back were paying government workers a bonus for coming to work early and unmarried daughters their father's pension. What do they export apart from olives and tourism? Argentina survived because of commodities the Greeks can't. They will have to. There is no other choice. Iceland's economic mainstay is fishing (not commodities) and they managed to rise from the ashes. Greek's debt burden is borne by taxpayers from healthy European countries (Germany, France), the political establishments there have to cut the ECB money train or they get massacred at the polls. The Greeks need a painful attitude re-adjustment and they will get it. As for Goldman Sachs,..waah these are thieves kabisa. They did the same with Italy. I wonder if the US treasury can be put on the hook for this ...

Kenya if not careful within 10-15 Years will be where Greece is today. The JAPanse are borrowing uncontrollably to spend on MCA's Yet the drivers of the economy are stagnating if not shrinking.

Quote:The document released in Washington on Thursday said Greece's public finances will not be sustainable without substantial debt relief, possibly including write-offs by European partners of loans guaranteed by taxpayers.
It also said Greece will need at least 50 billion euros in additional aid over the next three years to keep itself afloat. I guess they are enjoying the circus "There are only two emotions in the market, hope & fear. The problem is you hope when you should fear & fear when you should hope: - Jesse Livermore

I mentioned such habits in an earlier thread as "kicking the can down the road " and a wazuan mentioned that the cabinet secretary for finance has no options apart from ........ no one cares and the same attitude that Greeks have is the same attitude we have . Majani Chai halted , coffee uprooted , manufacturing dead long time ago . The only drive of economy is taxes harvested from salaries.infact 10yrs is the ideal time not more than that till we become like Greece

@Hisah, It will be extremely difficult for Greece to take the Iceland/Argentina option without some backlash to its tourism industry which is its bread winner. This guys are in sh*t and have absolutely no solution. They need to be left alone to sought out this mess internally otherwise they will never learn. Its over 5 years since they started having this financial problems and through out the period, the ECB has been giving them more debt (feeding the monster).

Quote:German media are reporting that Alexis Tsipras and Angela Merkel have telephoned (as we flagged earlier), with both leaders agreeing that Greece will bring new proposals with him to the Euro group meeting which may help to overcome the crisis.
Further details of what they discussed have yet to emerge.
Also, a Spiegel correspondent in Greece, Giorgis Christides, is reporting that paper supplies are running out in Greece, with newspaper publishers saying they had enough paper left to print only up until next Sunday.
One publishing manager has even proposed halting the printing of books, until the shortage eases. This country imports almost everything, who will agree to sell anything to them esp if they ditch the Euro Meanwhile Quote:Greek banks to stay shut
Newsflash: Greece’s banks will not reopen on Tuesday, or indeed on Wednesday, according to the head of the Greek bank association.
The daily withdrawal limit remains at €60. "There are only two emotions in the market, hope & fear. The problem is you hope when you should fear & fear when you should hope: - Jesse Livermore

In Kenya we borrow to pay salaries and allowances, build rails and roads that will impress the voter, without necesarily asking if there is something else we could have done to benefit the voter and lift them out of poverty. Chida iko hapo
