I doubt that Socrates could ever have imagined that one day the economy of Greece would be run from Brussels. This is exactly what is happening as I write. The Hellenic government has been told to reform the pension system as well as the health and public sector to the dismay of the population at large. They have discovered that the previous government had cooked the books and the new one expects the voters to pay the bill. Social unrest looms likely on the horizon unless the rest of the European Community cares to come to the rescue with some tangible help. Of course help will not be delivered until Mr. Zapatero and Spain hand over European residency too another country.
