    Our elected government defrauding the EU and banking system for our benefit should have no consequence on us! We’re mad!

      The Eurozone is run by the cartel of private banks, which impose neoliberal austerity. Eurozone countries have abdicated their monetary sovereignty to the financial sector, which is owned & run by wealthy. Keynesianism is impossible because deficit spending is disallowed. It’s complete shit; even worse than the US Federal Reserve that it was modeled after.

          this is what the EU did to Greece to bail out Germany, reap what you sowed https://www.nytimes.com/2015/09/09/opinion/yanis-varoufakis-how-europe-crushed-greece.html

            An opinion piece describing how greece bailed out germany.

            Here’s the wikipedia on the same topic (1). Examine the chapter “causes”.

                :) you go random greek, angry at the world for doing you wrong. Your debt to gdp ratio, and evolution thereof, makes your voice strong.

                  One doesn’t have to be Greek to understand how the EU fucked Greece.

      Google Marc Dutroux and look yourself in the mirror and say I need to respect the Transatlantic financial elite more

        Marc Dutroux was far from the Transatlatic elite. More a Walloon deplorable.
