Not to mention they literally asked Goldman-Sachs to help cook the books so they could qualify for joining the EU. I don't understand why people keep perpetuating this 'poor Greece is so innocent' myth. There was rabid government overspending, they literally defrauded the EU and they still got saved!

EU was not defrauded, since they admitted they knew how the books where altered.

On the other hand, do you know who didn't know nothing about it?

I, just, wish you will never face something like that in your future.

They can blame their parents and grandparents who voted for stupid and corrupt politicians. You don't need to look very far.
