Countries' financial stability? Time to consider the pro-capita debt-to-incame ratio please!

GREECE, HOLD TOGETHER, BE PATIENT AND YOU'LL WIN! The EU needs Greece more than vice-versa. Patience! It's too bad that there's so much panic---such a race to the cynical bottom---in just the very first phase of Syriza's actions, which in fact mirror the Greek majority: they want re-negotiation, but not to leave the EU. Hard-line communists and neo-nazis alike are going nowhere, and the Greek people know it. The only way to alter the course of a juggernaut is bit by bit, and ...that's what Syriza is doing, rather skillfully. Give them a year and then judge the indicators, and how the future looks from there. If this doesn't get the EU boot off Greece's neck, then a Grexit is justified (and at least has a healthy Greece as its goal). Best moves meanwhile: tax the wealthy to take care of the people, start Greece toward providing sustainable energy (the solar panels of Crete already light up Paris at night), have an international commission determine how much of the debt meets "odious debt" criteria---and demand that Germany set a shining example of debt-payment by turning over at last its WWII reparations. Germany, after all, got some sweet deals in the 1950s including from Greece. LONG LIVE HELLAS!
