The eternal passion for intergenerational theft.

All of us who have criticized the commie cowards in charge [in Greece] have stated that Greece should repudiate the odious debt and be done with it. But these red bastards don't have the kahones to do it. And you know why they don't? Because as soon as they left the Euro they'd need to start CUTTING PENSIONS and FIRING GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEES. No matter what the outcome, these things have to happen. But what they really want is to have the debt forgiven and then go back to spending more than they take in again. THAT is the REAL ISSUE.
