16. I reread your post, I'm thinking that you mean the other nations of the EU as lending creditors?

It doesn't really matter, some kind of jubilee or other compromise must happen. There comes a point in time when a nation cannot be squeezed, do you send in the mafia to break its legs or kill the debtor? Well, without a compromise and a way out of debt or negotiating exactly how to pay that debt, Greece will either leave the Euro or the EU will force it to leave...either way, more countries are sure to follow.

The people from the other countries that are upset must realize two things, they can either work with Greece to find a way for them to honor their debts, or they will oust Greece from the EU and start a domino effect thereby killing the Euro....there is no other choice but to find common ground with Greece. The right thing is only done when all other avenues have been exhausted.

Either way, this debt/slave nation/austerity era is going to collapse, austerity does nothing but breed desperation by the already overwhelmed working class who have no hope for their families, much less their country. The jig is up for the criminals at large. Now it will be onto working on a compromise that can lift Greece out of chaos and keep the EU running.

Who is representing justice, my friend? Who will bring back accountability and rule of law for the true entitlement holders, the real source of our welfare problem.
