The traitors, the heroes and the Greek drachma
M once upon a time, some traitors signed Memoranda, terrorizing the world for life outside the euro. One day some heroes overthrew. They signed a new memorandum and sosan place of destruction outside the euro.
Let's take the story from the beginning. There is no doubt that the agreement, which the Greek government is negotiating for six whole months, finally valued as significantly worse than that edynato distract if not even negotiated. The final result? Instead of abolishing the memorandum with a law and an article, we asked recently a new memorandum, perhaps the worst of all previous.
Unfortunately we live in the country, where pensions are cut to finance early retirement. We live in the country where the new tax rates, in a company with 4 partners and an annual profit of EUR 500 000, the final annuity for each of them is just 12 500 euros, ie a possibly lower revenue from annual salary of a public servant.

Dollars. Moreover, the trade deficit of 6 billion. Dollars in 1980 approached 19 billion. 2000. Assume noticeably in this way that the depreciation of the drachma, in any case, it was not possible to magnify the competitiveness of the Greek economy.
