Greek PM Admits That Greece Is In A Great Depression.
Greek Prime Minister Antonis Samaras says his country is facing economic upheaval like that of the devastating U.S. Great Depression of the 1930s.

Mr. Samaras made the comparison Sunday as he met with former U.S. President Bill Clinton, who was in the Greek capital to help promote economic investment. Mr. Samaras is faced with trying to revive the Greek economy, now in its fifth year of recession.

“You had the Great Depression in the United States. This is exactly what we are going through now in Greece. It is our version of the Great Depression.”

Not a big shocker, but surprised to hear it.

Greece is fucked - they have no future except as a backward, corrupt, agrarian country that slowly dies over the next 20 years.

really?
Would have never thought of that.

They should get out of the (T)euro as fest as they can and don´t let them be robbed.

Until they stand up and replace the Euro they are going to be screwed.


They need to stand up and say enough is enough.

Most expats are doing fine and those that weren't, have left the country.

Same thing here in Spain and sadly I'm one of those leaving soon. I have work (for other expats) but my son graduated from school last month and with over 52% of under 25s unemployed... it's the best option for his future. Most of his friends plan to sign up for the military because they see it as their only option. I have Spanish friends who are struggling for the cash they need for rent or mortgages but they're doing fine for food because they grow it and keep chickens and goats. Some grow one kind of veg, another keeps goats, another a different kind of veg, then they share it. I'm lucky enough to receive a bag of veg every other week, from friends... bet we won't get that back in England! Oh well, I can't have everything and right now my son's future comes first.

However, the 'other half' are doing fine - either pensioners who get their income paid into the bank every month or wealthy expats who get a trust fund payment every month.

Greece was fine until member of the EU. Everyone was fine until the EU came to spoil everything.
