All,
Do not spend any serious time reading about all the nuances and complexities of the current fiscal crisis facing the Greek Government. Here is everything you need to know in a nutshell:
Austerity = Our Government spent its way into bankruptcy and now we have to reduce spending (by the way, for years we lied to everyone about how bad it was).
Bailout Loans = We ran out of our money and now need to spend other people's money.
Anti-Austerity = We are dead broke but refuse to admit it.
