Please excuse me for my ignorance but the economic screw-up of Greece has the very same reasons as the economic screw-up of the US. Remember EnRon? A point to point answering should be the following.
1) When talking about massive fraud keep in mind that the citizens never actually had anything to do with it, since it is all run by politicians (reminds of Bush)
2) When there is no compensation you get unreasonable firing. This doesn't help in nourising ones companies. it helps into poverty and unemployment see more (ummm look at US today )
3) Kicked out of the euro zone...that would be the day... As for the Germans, the way the whole story is put through the mass media, i'd never blame them for what they think. But they, you and us should also remember something called "occupational compensation" before we open our mouths.
4) As for the Greece's "socialising everything" please allow me to explain. We AREN't on the socialising era... but in the desocialising one. Major social claims of the people were sold and will continue being sold in the future. And i have no idea why i should be against something socialised, especially if i have been paying 300 euros each month for social security and about 200 euros in tax every year for all these. As you can understand, the answer is not privatising social secutiry and other services(as you country did for years and now reaps NO fruits because NO trees were planted)
5) Ofcourse the remark about relying to one's government is a totally irrelevant one... We pay, they do... It would have been as you stated if we DIDN't pay for all these things.

Bottom line... i would be really happy if we even weren't the next target into one's war-target petroleum-agenda, but believe me! Some things worth fighting for!
