Re: Greece Bailout

When we were first asked to vote on the Common Market I voted 'No' mainly because I felt it would grow into something political........I didn't voice these concerns because I thought that people would think I was some kind of nutter. It is very sad to see my original concerns come true.

As for the single currency....I could never see how this was going to work because it seemed to me that the variation in the economies of the different nations were so very diverse....how could the Olive oil nations who had weak manufacturing base run along side those like Germany with a strong manufacturing base??
It didn't make one jot of sense, but I thought perhaps that my lack of knowledge about financial systems and such were not perhaps as well developed as those who had thought up this daft idea. It was an experiment really....and one which we will all pay dearly for.
