Postponing Agony: Greece on EU cash needle

German lawmakers have agreed to massively increase the size and power of the Eurozone's bailout fund - meaning Berlin will guarantee a whopping 211 BLN Euros' worth of loans. Greece is watching this closely, as it tries to convince the EU and IMF to release more emergency cash. But the Greek public's anger is focused on facing more cuts and tax hikes, as Sara Firth reports from Athens.

Default already!

Kick out the politicians delaying the default.

They want to default after selling all the national treasures & infrastructures of Greece to the banksters.

and still they wont let Greece out of the Euro-prison!

Think of the poor kids being orphaned for the glory of the EU!

History will know them as "Children of the EU" Von Rumpy, Barosso, Schulz etc must hang their heads in shame

We all know what that really means: China will have to save useless EU again by buying their unpayable debt.

GREECE IS MACEDONIA

The Greek and other European and American people who have been screwed by the banksters and are losing their houses may need to follow the example of the rich banksters. What can the ordinary people do that was considered "LEGAL" for the rich insiders.. Would "DEFAULT SWAPS" where they trade/sell the defaulted/forclosing mortgages on their houses be more illegal than what the banksters did? Perhaps the law makers can pass laws to make it legal for them to swap or sell their defaulted mortgages.

@ElectricSexPants Is this a problem for you? For us Greeks it sure isn't. You know Greek history? Then you know the history of the Byzantine Empire. Case closed.

This is an artificial crisis from A to Z. There is an intent behind this crisis, one may think it is the destruction of Greece.

HEY !!! this is an economic invasion !!! how does anyone expect a country of 11 million people to pay back such big loans with interest?!?! not to mention a huge influx of illegal immigrants taking money from the economy too and sending it back to their families. 10 billion dollars left Greece because of illegals !! EU is only around to destroy Greece. If they really wanted to help us then where are you at our borders keeping EU safe? You're only interest in Greece is breaking us down

Greece wants to buy with his people and turn them into slaves, which is in the U.S.. Make them sexually loose, destroy family values, to kill orthodoxy. This is the first target of Satan.
