A cynic might simply say, beware Americans…

. . . but the old saying goes “Beware Greeks bearing gifts” so . . . Greek horses are okay but its all those Greeks inside that is a problem.

The Greek Government got suckered with the same trojan horse shtick because they are lazy and incompetent but then just because what Goldman Sachs did was technically “legal” does not put a shine on their flim-flam operations.

Sorry to go OT, and feel free to delete this. But what’s happened to your aggregator? As of 10:51pm EST it’s gone.

Did the Greek gov’t “get suckered”? Or did it go looking for a loophole where it could maintain spending whilst appearing to comply with EU requirements?

Seems to me the more fiscally responsible EU members were the ones who got suckered.

Seriously…it seems like Wall Street is doing the Chinese a major favor by hastening the decline of western powers.
