Reply To: Austerity has failed. An open letter from Piketty to Merkel
I’ve been staying up on the Greek issue for some months now. I read everything you wrote and read the article you linked to and watched the videos you linked to. Not one thing you cited backed up the opinion you’re putting forth. In fact the article cited completely misrepresents 50% unemployment for people under 25, the number of children in poverty and the number of Greeks who have lost their homes as being the fault of the EU. But what’s a little bit of distortion of the truth to get things to fit into the ideology you embrace, right?
And Austerity has not failed in Greece because it’s never been attempted without partisan implementation and distortions to solidify the political power of Alexis Tsipras and his cronies. In his stammering reply video at the EU he admits as much as admits they’ve not really done what they could to have corrected the problems way before now…
