Beware of Greeks Bearing Bonds - 5 yrs. ago
I always thought that this Vanity Fair article was excellent.

And the comments from the recent yahoo article.
quote:

Athens would stick to its rejection of wage and pension cuts and higher taxes on basic goods.


EMERGENCY PLAN?
"We should work out an emergency plan because Greece would fall into a state of emergency," Germany's EU commissioner Guenther Oettinger said. "Energy supplies, pay for police officials, medical supplies, and pharmaceutical products and much more" needed to be ensured.


In Athens, Tsipras - the 40-year-old leftist leader elected on a pledge to end austerity - betrayed few signs of alarm.


Ignoring warnings from European policymakers that it was up to Athens to act now, Tsipras coolly said he was happy to wait it out till the lenders changed their minds.

I wonder what a country looks like when it goes bankrupt.
