Want to help the Greek economy?


Plan a trip there. It's a fascinating place, full of history and very worthwhile and enjoyable places to visit. The people, too, are friendly and welcoming, for the most part. If you're planning an international trip, please consider Greece as a destination. Tourism is an important part of the Greek economy, and all money spent by tourists benefits the Greek people.

Great plan there DUmmie. Send a bunch of stinky pot smoking DUmmies to Greece and they will try and jump on the gravy train.

A local radio host I listen was talking about Greece recently. One of his show's promotions is to go as a group on a trip with the host. One of the places the group went to was Greece and according to him the country is a crap hole except where most of the tourists go...the islands.

I have the feeling that even if the DUmmies could afford to go to Greece they would only end up helping the Greek island local economy rather than the country on a whole.

Dummies are sponges, no matter where they are.

Want to know how to support the Greek economy, lurking DUmmies? Stay far, far away from Greece.

     There are about half a dozen DUmmies with the money to travel to Greece, and if they do, they'll go to where the postcard pics are taken. Part of the collective puerility and stupidity of the DUmp is to see the word "Greece" and attribute to it NOW what they learned happened there 2000 years ago. They assume everyone there is a philosopher, whiling away the hours in their sunny orchards and vineyards. In reality, Greece is a cesspool of nasty, cigarette-puffing, foul-smelling government hangers-on and sponges on the public dime (in other words...they're DUmmies). I pity the DUmmy who goes over there in search of the nirvana they imagine, and realizes in short order the place is lousy with their own kind.

Want to help Greece? Buy more yogurt.  You'll see it in the dairy section begging the Swiss cheese for a dollar.

As I predicted the rest of the EUnics have caved to Greece's demands to give them more money for promises of austerity.

Recent score card:
1. 200 billion euros for promises of austerity
2. No austerity happens.
3. 150 billion euros for promise of following the previous promises of austerity.
4. Again, no austerity occurs.
5. ??? billion euros for promise of actually following the promise of following the promises of austerity.

Guess what is going to be step 6?

      The DUmmies are sure of several things:

1. All monies loaned to Greece ended up in Goldman Sachs' coffers. Anything that didn't went to "the 1%." In reality, we know that while Goldman and other bankers made some money, Greece used the dough to prop up a system it couldn't and can't afford. That money pretty much went straight into the lungs of retired 58-year-old Greeks in the form of burning cigarette smoke and on their asses in the form of mounds of french fries*.

2. The only way to prop up an unsustainable Greek entitlement system is to sink even more money into it, for more packs of smokes and more plates of fries.

3. All Greek debt should be written off completely, because "World War II". Also, so it will be easier to concentrate on the new money that should be taken from productive 57-year-old Europeans to give to retired 57-year-old Greeks.

4. The Greek system of entitlements, early retirement, and avoidance of work and thrift is a perfect model for the United States.


Of course, they're wrong on all counts, but after all, they're DUmmies.

* - you would be stunned to know how many fries are consumed in Greece.

There's three choices . . .

1) Get underpants

2) ???

3) Profit!
