In that case, we should discuss helping the people, and not discuss helping the Greek government. In fact, Europe is already helping hundreds of thousands of Greeks by offering them good jobs in other countries.

- melling 11y agoThe age issue isn't the only problem. "Proportion of wages as pension; Greece: 80% Germany: 46%" Almost everything you read has Greeks living in a welfare state that they couldn't afford.

- saiya-jin 11y agovery true, in fact any greek person worth a dime on job market can easily pack & go. i am very surprised that very few actually leave their homeland, despite constant complaints how hellish place greece became thanks to budget cuts and reforms. either that's a blatant lie, or they are just lazy. yeah, it's not the best solution overall if all worthy people leave the place, but that's how current world works. and loss for one country is a net gain for another too (maybe germany? :))
