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?

If you inderstand TTIP, you certainly see the lenghts & deceptive secrecy that the Banks, corporations, industry lobbies & all sorts of other shaddy & secretive lobbies go to hatch a TTIP far from any the citizens awareness, a treaty that is shaping into nothing more than the loss of sovereignty & ability to apply the different nationals laws of the countries signing this rotten treaty.

You say you study economics, you should know a bit how these games are played, a candid view on these matters is just that, candid.
