Today is the day of the Greek elections. The financial news is telling us that this is a very big deal. It could mean the difference between Greece staying in the Eurozone or rejecting the deal that was painstakingly put together over the past 6 months. The fear among many is that the Greeks will vote to reject the deal which calls for huge cuts to their already bare bones government. They literally have people working in government who are not getting paid. I wonder what they will do. What does somebody who is already on hard times, being told by somebody in another country that they will be forced to endure even harder times for the good of the European continent. What would I do? I would vote for whatever direction is best for my country. I think I would vote to tear up the agreement. I don't think a country is a country if officials from another country can tell you how to spend your money. That would be like me having a checking account but with some random person in Italy also having access to it. If that were the case, it would not be my checking account.
I am pretty sure they will vote for whatever choice will make their own lives easier in the shortest amount of time. That is just human nature.
