The Greeks are really making the Japanese look like the Greeks right now.

30 Rock references aside, however, the first thing that the Greeks need to do to improve their situation is take care of their country's awful tax evasion problem. They have one of the lowest effective tax burdens in the eurozone in spite of their country's large amount of hours worked, and such a system is obviously unsustainable and doesn't jibe well with reality.
