I knew someone deeply entrenched in financial logic would eventually show up and declare the coming sellout of the Greek people well justified. Bonus points for comparing someone who "buys buys buys" and eventually has to pay to the entirely different realm of state finance.

Surprise, the banks are getting saved and public infrastructure is going to be sold to profiteers. Also, the people will bleed. Another fine day in Neolib-land. So nice to always be able to rely on upright citizens explaining how it couldn't possibly be any other way!

Well, thanks for pointing out the typo, I guess. I'm curious, since you asked. How bad was it? On a scale of 1 to 10, where 1 is "banks saved, poor eat dirt" (everything okay) and 10 is "Investors making less return on their investments" (Red alert, end of the world is imminent)?
