    It strengthens my position that the Greek government is responsible for this mess. Greece has a democratic government, therefore it is a problem with the people, the culture, or (likely) both.
    Yes, the political system is out-dated and corrupt, it is now in disarray, but neither the ruling PASOK (160 of 300 seats) nor the main opposition party ND (91 seats) is willing to change it because their political and personal interests are bound up with it.

    Probably sounds familiar to an American, huh?
