Jump To Comment: 1 2This is a pathetic attempt at trying to popularize the 'pro-default' agenda. You voted for politicians who bribed you with ever more hand outs and government jobs. Now you are claiming that the loans to pay for this orgy of EU and German Bank sponsored self indulgence were illegitimately entered into so then you will claim you have no responsibility to pay them back.
You borrowed the money; you pissed it up against the wall and have nothing to show; you still have to pay it back.
I am glad at least Papandreou understands. You will be poor for a very long time in paying this back, and you only have yourselves to blame!
This is not an attempt at popularizing the 'pro-default' agenda. "Deafault" means that you can't pay; we are talking about "Repudiation", that means, that we, the public, don't have to pay for a debt that was not acquired with our consent and from which he did not get any benefit from. Someone said that the beauty of capitalism is that it socialize losses but privatise profit: in this case we are demanding an audit on the debt which is mostly illegitimate and the public is being forced to pay for the embezzlement of a few bankers. This the EU banks know and they are willing to punish the whole nation in order to get their bucks back. This is completely immoral since their happy lending was done on the assumption that if the capitalists can't pay, you can always pass the bill to the workers. This time the workers have to prove this wrong.
Gunther (probably a German banker himself?) is saying "You borrowed the money; you pissed it up against the wall and have nothing to show; you still have to pay it back.".
"You" is really "They", the bankers. They are the people "you" lent money to, the people you let it piss it up against the well while they had nothing to show (not that you really cared back then), and if they can't pay you now, well, it is too bad but that is YOUR bleeding problem, not ours. Cope the hell on.
Up the debt audit! Hopefully we have soon audits in Ireland, Spain and Portugal.
