| Game_God said: Your 2nd point, is terribly wrong, you should stop believing mainstream media & do actual research about Greece real reasons for bankrupcy. It has more to do with corruption, EU rigid & binding anti-democratic rules & mainly like everywhere else, Banks(mainly german & french in Greece case) playing casino & then having the state/citizens €€ bailing them out & leaving the country ruined! Do you know what is TTIP? |
Firstly, I study economics at university, so this is already a topic I'm extremely familiar with, and as the president of my university's debate club, I'm more than familiar with both sides of the issue. I've argued for both on multiple occasions.
Secondly, I haven't even mentioned what I believe in. I simply commented that your analogy didn't work without ever stating my beliefs, so, in the words of Yahtzee Croshaw, you've either got the wrong address or you're projecting so hard I could point you at a wall and run a powerpoint presentation.
Thirdly, again, without wishing to take a position here, this is an issue that is multi faceted. There are a number of reasons for Greece's economic problems, and there's certainly an argument to be made that rising debt and the countries who hold that debt being reasonably concerned about getting their money back (and imposing harsh austeristy measures as a result) is playing a part. Corruption almost certainly plays a role as well, but utterly dismissing the idea of unchecked spending and the resulting austerity measures having a hand in the recent downturn seems more than a little close minded.
Lastly, I assume you're referring to the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership, which I'm familiar with. What of it?
