" Who in their right mind would give Greece another $200 or $300 billion"
If you say that, it looks like we are short of Euros. I would like to remember you that just now we are in the middle of:
"The European Central Bank launched its long-awaited bid to revitalise the eurozone economy and counter deflation with a €60bn-a-month bond-buying programme that was far larger than investors had expected. "
( http://www.ft.com/intl/cms/s/0/aedf6a66-a231-11e4-bbb8-00144... )
So, we are missing some political will here, not money.
"It's the exact same outcome as further austerity, merely
camouflaged by the lie of inflation."
It's not. It's the same numbers but very different outcome for the people in the street that have very little blame in all this. But, if something have been proof in all this Greek tragedy is that nobody cares about the people in the street.
