You seem to pretend that Greece is a single atomic unit. The people cooking those books were neither the voters nor the current government, both of whom are victims of the mismanagement of previous governments.

Of course the voters should never have elected them in the first place, but look at the loons that American voters keep voting for. And the Greek crooks were given both the means and the motive to cook the books, because there was status attached to joining the euro, and the rules were not being enforced so strictly back then. And the easy loans after joining the euro let them pretend to their voters that all was fine.

I guess than the greek people should go find those people who were cooking the books and hold them accountable.

I yet to see how the bad greek government is anybody else's problem other than the voters who put them in place and the country itself. Politicians like to take credit for every progress but never take the blame.

Imagine if you did the same thing as a leader of a corporation. Why is it different than bad leaders of a country? Just because politicians are historically untouchable?

What is the guarantee that it wont happen again with the current government? Did anything change?

They found them already. They were Goldman Sacks. No kidding.

Seriously? That would actually not be very surprising at all.
