Extremely short analysis. After 2008 Greece's GDP crashed by 50% over several years and stabilized 2016. It's pretty obvious that when you have a shrinking economy that your real debt burden is going up over time. 100% debt to GDP will turn into 200% and it's not because of irresponsible spending or low taxation.

If anything you have to lend more money to Greece and only give the most productive companies/sections of the government access to loans, if Greece's GDP was 355 billion € in the past it can recover up to that old level.



Yes, it was absolutely cutting off the nose to spite the face on the rich EU countries (well, Germany's) part. Disgusting and shameful.
