  4. Corruption has reached deep in every sector of the society and is represented in the national culture. It's so deeply-rooted than even if you wanted to eliminate corruption you'd be opposed by the majority of the people, because you'd inevitably have to step on too many toes. I'm sorry to say this. No matter which party has been in power, it used the state mechanism for patronage and to perpetuate corruption. Even the so-called conservatives, who included small-state advocates, were one of the worst violators. For decades--and I heard this too often--Greeks used to deride the Euros as stupid. And, it worked actually. Cooked books, governments lying about numbers, about everything, and the Euros would send Greece billions of...euros in support of all sorts of sectors. The farmers who are protesting today have been one of the most rewarded economic group in Greece. Even when Greece joined the euro, it came in at an artificially high exchange rate, so Greeks thought they were more affluent than in reality. Since 1980, when Greece joined the EU, Greek production of key foods (and not only) went down, in real measures. So, when the crisis hit, many Greeks, including many of our friends here, bravely said, let's get out of Europe, we don't need those bastards with their rules, extortion, and whatever. .... Except when you don't even produce enough to feed your people, and you import 80% of basic consumer goods, you have a big problem. And, the drachma would buy you diddly squat.

  5. Ok so lets say it wasn't funded by the govt, explain to me the documents leaked showing repayments of $40 million haven't been made to a certain bank? And please don't tell me the documents are made up. So who hasn't made their repayments?

  6. Well the one surprise I expected happened. Panathinaikos was knocked out of the cup by Atromitos. Hopefully PAOK can overcome Panionios and make it to the semifinals. PAOK - Panionios ---, 1:1 Asteras - Olympiakos 1:1, 0:5 Iraklis - AEK 0:1, 1:4 Atromitos - Panathinaikos 1:0, 0:0
