We’ve known it all along, but somehow now that it’s ready to happen, we’re surprised. The Troika has been pouncing on Greece for months. They’ve demanded more and more austerity measures. Greeks are losing their jobs.
Now the Prime Minister is calling for a vote in January on the Greek bailout approved last week by the EU. It’s a high stakes gamble. If the Greeks vote yes, it make help to drown out the street protests. But if the Greeks vote no, it will bring down the government. And Greece may stop using the euro and drop out of the EU.
