The people like us in Greece have been able to retire at 52 and get a government pension, that will end I would imagine. But the real culprit as I understand it are Wall Street Banks, Goldman Sacks to be sure, who assisted in hiding the true story of the financial mess that was created by borrowing as a way to run an economy. The citizens of Greece probably had no idea what was really going on. So the banks will call in the loans and are going to be paid and the citizens who did not cause the problem are taking it in the shorts. Oh, one more thing, I understand tax payments in Greece are very low, people rich and poor get away with simply not paying their fair share of what it costs to run a country.

(68,644 posts)We took a group of kids studying energy and sustainability, part of a public charter school career academy (more than 1/2 at risk of academic failure), on a train ride with rail system designers and engineers.
The kids have a fresh attitude, they see things differently.
I wish the banking industry was as comprehensible to regular people as energy efficient designs, because it might be easier to educate.
Still, once we reach into classrooms and tell kids what the hell they've been doing to us, they will NOT take it.
So, the question is how do we do this, will our teachers be allowed to teach the truth?
I know I will.
