This is what happens when you elect a left wing government that has no idea about economics and trusts its talking points over the economic reality.   The EU has to be firm with Greece, obey the demands of the IMF/EU or your on your own henceforth.   The Greeks bought in to the Euro on dodgy economic books and now they must pay the piper.    The Greeks will come out of this mess in time, but lets hope they have learned their lesson, do not spend money that you do not have, and never buy on credit, it has to be paid sometime by someone.   That is the harsh truth for Greece.

The clock has hit 12 and its time for the Greeks to accept that they are nothing more than a poor province of Germany.    It will be the Germans that decide if Greece gets its money, one has to be amazed at the restraint of the German taxpayer, how billions have been sent to cover Greece and none of it will come back, time to cut the cord, the Greeks have to learn the hard way, if you spend money you do not have you MUST PAY, thus Greece could face internal  unrest, strife between the rich and the poor and various sectors of society.    Poor Greece.   At least taking a holiday in Greece will be cheap. 

EU and Greece - NOT DEAL YET

BBC News: Reports " Greece and its international creditors remain in deadlock over its debt crisis despite a series of top-level meetings. "

Lets Get Real:

This is the time to finish these talks, the Greeks are making fools of the EU/IMF, they have not intention of cutting the welfare state in Greece, once something is done in welfare and is seen as a right it is very hard to take it back, e.g ObamaCare in the US. The EU need to be tough, either Greece obeys what the EU/IMF want or its on its own. The Trojan Horse has come back home.
