    Way to go Greece! I wonder what's going to happen with the money that Eurozone countries sent to them. It was a failure from the start, glad Slovaks remained the only SANE country not to send money to them.
    My opinion might be a bit radical, but.... 15 salaries a year compared to the Slovak 12, early retirement age, salaries being 3 times as high as the Slovak ones. What do you think Mr. Fitts?
