Yesterday NPR (http://www.npr.org/2012/02/15/146911477/financial-crisis-takes-a-toll-on-greeces-aesthetics) stated “The Greece debt crisis has forced the country to look to the Eurozone for a bailout. But Greece is looking less and less like part of Europe. In the capital Athens, they are still cleaning up from the weekend riots. Even in its tourist precincts, the area is shabby and covered with graffiti.”
Today the Washington Post (http://www.washingtonpost.com/world/european-debt-crisis-greek-bailout-talks-are-complicated-by-looming-deadline/2012/02/15/gIQAsLIXGR_story.html) is reporting “As European leaders haggled Wednesday over how and whether to keep Greece from spinning into uncontrolled bankruptcy next month, one factor was not negotiable: the sheer passage of time, which is complicating efforts to ease Greece’s debts.
With each day, the plans to relieve the debts grow more difficult to pull off by the end of March, when Greece faces a mammoth payment that it cannot meet without help. Acknowledging the uncertainty, European finance officials discussed Wednesday night the possibility of delaying the bailout until after Greek elections scheduled for April and helping Greece make its $19 billion payment in the meantime, according to an official briefed on the talks, which were held by conference call.
It’s all a bad tv sitcom series that won’t go away!
