Headline: Germany plans for Greece to leave euro.*

For anyone who is interested, here is the longer url for that page:

"With Greek morale at rock bottom, the national mood darkened yet further after armed thieves looted a museum on Friday in Olympia, birthplace of the Olympic Games, and stole bronze and pottery artefacts - just weeks after the country's National Gallery was burgled."*

The Greek government seems to be collapsing, and nothing can save it.*

The ironic thing here is that Britain, Germany and France are models of "socialism," which American politicians like to ridicule, and yet these same countries are also models of "fiscal responsibility" and "market forces," which these very same politicians hold up as the standard.*

A recent youtube link from rocco2 led to a story about Italy, from Margaret Warner on PBS.*

They said that the union or guild of machinists protects the jobs of machinists, so that they can never be fired. But yet at the same time, unemployment in Italy is very high. Some people's jobs are protected beyond reason, yet many other people have no such protection. The problem isn't that the people of these countries have too much in the way of guaranteed benefits. The problem is that some privileged groups have too much, while many others have too little.*

No matter what country it is, and no matter what they call their system, there are always some people who get the benefits and others who don't.*
