As others have pointed out, the majority of Greeks are essentially Socialists, and I am absolutely fine with that as long as I, however indirectly, don't have continue to pay taxes to keep them in that life style..

I therefore hope this vote is the Greek public in effect pulling the plug themselves..


Pete. I'm going to disagree. They needed to prop of greece long enough to get the Greek debt of the balance sheets of the potential domino counties. Now that that's done, it's time for Greece to agree to pay the piper, or get cut off.

Personally if I was at the World Bank (they are a better organization then the IMF) I wouldn't give them a dime until they actually passed, and had in place pension plan reforms.
