It’s worth remembering that while people criticize Greece and their socialist aka “communist” government for overspending and debt, while they’ve not been in great shape since the late 1990’s, all the US Media coverage conveniently omits the fact that is was the illegal activities of the too-big to fail US Banks, and the fraudulent bundling of worthless US mortgages… that caused the 2008 crisis that took Greece down.

The NPR reporting of this is woefully inadequate, the LA Times at least mentions it.
