....but I suppose this is all Capitalisms fault eh Kirkland, that evil Capitalism has struck again....in Greece no less
I'm pretty sure they voted for low taxes and high benefits. Unfortunately, the loans that delivered this from the rest of Europe are no longer being given, and Greece are royally fucked. Kirkland Laing is right in saying that for the next decade its going to be miserable, as they are fucked in and out of the Euro now.
