420. Wie Will Take Over

The EU is scary! Members officials now want to take over Greece. Well, the control over Greece's budget since their leaders don't seem to be getting the job done. Does the EU think it can do it better? That they have more knowledge than Greece itself re their environment? I am sure Greece is responding like any other country in a ditch. Take the U.S. for example. Our OBlunder pushes Obamacare and compliance and then gives exceptions to players as he chooses! Anything different than Greece backing off some of there directives a little after discovering the initial plan might be too optimistic? Isn't this "wish" by the EU to take over like our Federal Government taking over a state's budget? What an uproar that would be. Just let Greece default as it will NOW and get it over with.  Too big to fail? I just watched a movie last night, Sanctum, where a diving team gets trapped in a deep underground cave in New Guinea. Several decisions had to be made to let others die to give the remaining a chance to live. It was based on a real expedition. Unfortunately, only one individual did survive. They didn't go killing off each other on purpose, but they did have to let severely injured ones die or help them die. A few made conscious decision to allow themselves to be drowned to give life to others. This movie had life and death decisions. Greece will not be dying, only defaulting and limping back for a while once the debt is shed. An embarrassment to the EU? Yes. But that's only politics again! And not wanting to tarnish ego! Let Greece win or fail on its own. Giving them an initial shot to recover was probably right, but continuing to throw pennies at them when it's hopeless is not. Better to bail out other countries that have a higher probability of succeeding.
