Greece is a socialist country. You can retire at 50 if you have a cushy government job.Socialism turns to anarchy in Venezuela...

Scenes From The Venezuela Apocalypse: "Countless Wounded" After 5,000 Loot Supermarket Looking For Food
5/13/2016 - Over the last several years we have documented with clockwork regularity Venezuela's collapse into failed state status, which was cemented several weeks ago when news hit that "Venezuela had officially run out of money to print new money." At that point the best one could do was merely to step back and watch as local society and civilization turned on itself, unleashing what would ultimately turn into Venezuela's own, sad apocalypse.
Yup, and this is another socialist country with empty shelves

The Tax Justice Network has said that there are over €20 billion in Swiss bank accounts held by Greeks.[20] The former Finance Minister of Greece, Evangelos Venizelos, was quoted as saying "Around 15,000 individuals and companies owe the taxman 37 billion euros".[21] Additionally, the TJN puts the number of Greek-owned off-shore companies to over 10,000.[22]
Somebody stole the money from the piggy bank in Greece.
It has nothing do with her being a socialist or a capitalist.
SOMEBODY STOLE IT!!
Like in Venezuela....
But in Greece the government GAVE the banks the national treasury in the USA we only gave the Wall Street banks $5 trillion and the banks then paid themselves bonuses for it.
You say that like it's bad. Of course they got a bonus. That's how many of them were paid. Do you work for ZERO? Nothing? Volunteer work?
Let's say they were denied their bonus pay, and since they were in bankruptcy, they had zero income. Everyone would have walked off the job. Now imagine if your mortgage was with them. Suddenly, your entire life is in limbo. You are likely racking up late fees, but have no ability to pay. There is one at the bank taking those payments because they all left.
You talk about economic chaos.... That would have done it.
The solution was to not get involved at all. Bankruptcy system works fine left to itself.
But the ignorant were all demanding that government do something, so they did.
