"The bailout program is scheduled to end in August, 2018. Greece's
unemployment rate has fallen to 20 percent from more than 25 percent in
2013. Its economy grew 2.5 percent, compared to an almost 10 percent
contraction in 2011. It expects to repay at least 75 percent of its debt
by 2060. Until then, European creditors will supervise adherence to
austerity measures."

Here's a crazy idea: Instead of punishing the tax payer's of Greece for
staying in the EU, how about an international agreement to pay Greece a 5%
royalty on the Olympic games? Why? Because they *invented* the Olympic
games way back when.
