What happened in Greece is, its government went into debt from the International Loans Sharks in order to keep the people happy in order to maintain their cushy political positions. (and all the perks that went with them)

Now, the International Loans Sharks are cashing in their chips and the Greek people have been left holding the bag.


Neither a borrower nor a lender be;
For loan oft loses both itself and friend,
And borrowing dulls the edge of husbandry.

~ Shakespeare...

The rich ruleth over the poor, and the borrower is servant to the lender. ~ Proverbs 22:7, KJV
