Looks like a deal is done tonight to extend the Greek bailout payback plan. Just as well; the alternative would have hurt all of us eventually. For sure letting Greece drop out would have cost Germany a great deal more than the extension agreed tonight. The austerity they have initiated is truly horrible - think I read that 18-20 year old unemployment is over 50%! That's a cruel start to life! Thank goodness we didn't join the Euro as potentially we would have been in trouble too. Then again we have a bigger population so in theory we can "work" our way through this mess. Who's not looking forward to our election then?
