GREEK PARLIAMENT HAVING TROUBLE PASSING AN AUSTERITY PACKAGE THAT EU MINISTERS WON'T EVEN ACCEPT BECAUSE IT DOESN'T GO FAR ENOUGH

REARRANGING CHAIRS ON THE DECK OF THE TITANIC:

• FIVE GREEK CABINET MINISTERS RESIGNED RATHER THAN SUPPORT THE BILL

• THAT THE GREEK PM HAS SAID IS GREECE'S LAST CHANCE BEFORE CATASTROPHE, 

• AND NOW THERE ARE MORE RIOTS OUTSIDE PARLIAMENT AS THEY DEBATE THE BILL THAT'S REALLY ALREADY BEEN REJECTED BY THE EU AS TOO LITTLE TOO LATE.

PROGNOSIS:

• GREEK BANKRUPTCY IN MARCH FOLLOWED BY THE COLLAPSE OF THE EURO.

• THEN MUCH GLOBAL ECONOMIC PAIN FOLLOWED BY RECOVERY UNDER BETTER TERMS.

WHICH AMERICAN CANDIDATE FOR THE PRESIDENCY IS BEST ABLE TO CONTEND WITH THESE CRISES?


MITT AND ONLY MITT.
