Today's note

Big Gov, Big spending, Big debt, three died to start with.
Strange to see how a nation is sometime just a word. I had think Greece going through the worse crisis since world war 2 would rally and do whatever it takes to make sure the situation woudn't get out of hand even if requesting that the effort be fairly shared among the population and those responsible for the mess be sent home but didn't expect them to fight one another up to killing some. I like to think it wouldn't happen home. "We rise or fall together as one nation" I guess it's an American thing. Today reading many articles I found this comment, "Greeks have ordered some kind of social freebies, hope they enjoyed it, the bill is now on the table", thought harsh cause most probaly didn't know. Most EU govs don't give their citizens the education and the sense through that education of being responsible making personal choice. As a system they quite enjoy to be honest on both sides to entertain a kind of illusion there is a state (abstract thing) that the gov is in charge of, on the other side, the people asking for freebies with the gov playin the referree... how it is financed is less important or not important at all, at least was until the bill kicks in.
Now why Greek officials are unable to rally the nation after may be some very difficult and controversial explaining, which is understandable due to the circumstances, remains to me a mystery. Have they done townhall meetings to explain and offer a path out?
