< Article. >Hooray for socialism!!! It works so well! Oh, and Italy, Spain, and Portugal are all also facing default. Posted by GORDON on Sep. 20 2011,10:39
I have heard many media outlets claim that part of the problems is that greek people are notoriously lazy. Imagine if someone in america said that about Mexicans, or something.

I've seen articles on this situation blaming the socialist policies for creating a country that lives off of entitlements, and the thought of having those entitlements taken away, and having to actually work is what is driving the people crazy. I tend to believe that more than "they're inherently lazy", mainly because I see the same thing with welfare families here. Plus, are they also suggesting that Italians, Portuguese, and the Spanish are all lazy too? Posted by thibodeaux on Sep. 20 2011,11:48
