The Greeks lied about their status back then, yes, and they forged their numbers.
But many in Brussel knew it, but welcomed the lies nevertheless and bought them. They wanted their ideologic pet-project being turned into reality no matter the numbers, no matter the facts, no matter the consequences, no matter the warnings by reason. Everybody who wanted to knowl, could have known. It's not as if their economy had been less corrupt and less inefficient and lacking productivity back then than it has been some years later.
Politicians. Stupidity. Narcism. There I is not a single name I could mention in this or any of the past lets say 5 German cabinets that I had respected or trusted. Not one single name.
When somebody puts ideology over reality, then you know that it is time to either kill him, or to grab up your things and run as fast as you can. And throw some mines behind you, in case he starts running after you. |
