Acropolis Now: 'Debt' down to 'default' as EU plugs Greek leak

A major U.S. credit agency says it will downgrade the Greek debt to default status as a result of the second bailout for the country. The plan agreed by EU leaders, includes both government and private loans totaling around 150 billion euros. The move has boosted the single currency for now, but critics say it's only plunging the struggling Eurozone into an even deeper debt hole.

@MarshallJukov You're really not familiar with USSR, are you?! I lived there in 1980 and beyond. And, the living standards weren't what you say they were. The difference in arrests is that in 1937 KGB killed most of those people. And I think your figure is incorrect. Total victims of Stalinist repression sand in the MILLIONS (which included my Great Aunt, who was a translator of English).

Stop worrying US/Europe. Your pride and joy, ISRAEL, the country you're willing to sacrifice the lives of your children for, give up your jobs for, and donate your savings to, has your best interest at heart. Don't believe me, just asks our savior. No I'm not talking about Jesus, the no-show for 9/11, Katrina or Fukushima. I'm talking about the likes of Bernanke, Blankfein and Netanyahu.

The bankters are being exposed but still want to secretly rule the world by poking their puppet leaders to speak for them. Very interesting. How's Iceland doing?
