In reply to the discussion: Buffoon leaders... and how we milked the EU, by veteran Greek columnist and commentator [View all]Munificence
(493 posts)They, instead of seeing the future went along with everything, they were/are still are in power. The entire time turning a blind eye.
Just like the latest flag issues, the TPP, etc. We'll rise and say no to social issues but when it comes to monetary issues, fiscal issues, etc it's a "go along to get along". Been this way for a few decades.
We sold our souls on NAFTA to enrich a few, we've sold our souls now to TPP in order to enrich a few. But all of that is fine and dandy for older folks, they "already have theirs". They already have theirs by raping the riches of the past 40 years. No discipline what-so-ever when concerning the future of our youth.
They have raped, plundered and pillaged thinking we've have perpetual growth in order to support our youth and it is not coming.
Their guilt:
Setting back and letting it all happen, going along to get along.
Greece will be much better off with a "no" vote in the long run, sure you'll lose a generation or more in the rebuilding process but at least they are finally saying "enough is enough". It has taken to this point to arrive here. Where are we in the U.S. I know the older folks only worry about their unsustainable pensions when they could give two shits less about our youth. Our youth will not see those pensions, they can barely even get a fucking job to pay rent. But no, our older folks who have benefited from our debt still want theirs.
This political system, the corruption, the banksters has come along because no one ever could say "No". Like a bunch of meth heads, as long as they got theirs then fuck the rest.
