This hypocrisy makes me angry. Those governments were not forced on poor Greek people by bad Jews or lizards from the space. Greek voters had a choice and they repeatedly refused a wide range of responsible trustworthy politicians that were telling the uncomfortable truth and repeatedly elected whoever would promise them the biggest free lunch.
Of course, such hypocrisy is not limited to Greece, it is rather ubiquitous in modern democracies.

"Democracy is the theory that the common people know what they want, and deserve to get it good and hard. " - HL Mencken. Presumably Greece is in the getting "it good and hard" phase.
