Listening to GAP now it is evident that Greece was doomed the moment he was elected. It is unfortunate that people like GAP inherit power and ruin countries and nations. The only clear message is the GRIN philosophy. Lie, hide, evade, and GRIN. We can get over the deficit issue, and for this reason we have to worry about climate change, he said. That was his passion, not the people loosing their jobs, having no food to eat, ending up committing suicide in frond of the parliament. Meanwhile he was busy pawning everything valuable Greece had; to survive politically for 2 years. Now he claims that his tactic was so successful, that he teaches it at Harvard, so the world does not loose this valuable intellectual property. And of course, he is planning to return!

Beware Greeks bearing debts! As to the German tourists in Greece-my fondest memory was created when the German girls at the beach at Skopelos ripped off their tops when they hit the surf. I guess they were happy to find some Greek eleutheria. Which brings me to the question Charlie didn't ask: What about that 14th paycheck? It's a different Greece from the one Katzantkis embodied..."I want nothing, I need nothing, I am free!" But that was before shyster capitalism was invented in the USA, wasn't it? (And Goldman-Sacks arrived.) Speaking of hope-I recall Camus said that "Hope equals resignation and to be resigned is not to be alive." I have no hope for this one.

Is it just me? I find the show getting more BORING lately.
It's not Charlie. I think it is because there are more and more high profile guests -acting leaders, CEO,s generals etc. And they cant be expected to express anything other than flat PR talk.
The show is much better with authors, retired people and others guests who's job is not to maintain a public image.
I hope the producers take not of this.

I can see that he intends to court the Obama admin and no doubt will succeed since he is saying what they like to hear. Nevertheless, greater risks require higher returns and thus higher interest rates. If Greece had not spent herself into oblivion she would have little to fear from currency speculators, credit default swaps, etc. They have had really nothing to do with this financial situation except in the minds of those who would like, as he apparently does at times, to sweep profligacy under the carpet. The only way to reduce interest rates is to have someone with better security, like Germany, stand behind you. It is not, and cannot be, just a matter of regulation or bank policy, as the central bankers I trust will eventually discover. The only reason the US gets away with it is because we print the money and thus can force others to pay for it. He has a better idea tho of what stimulus means than a lot of ppl, however a race to lower wages through productivity is certainly a better idea than a race to increase them via inflation. There are places in Holland, BTW, where they have actually removed the traffic lights and reduced the accident rate. Also fundamentalism is fundamental; people are not born liberals.

Mr. Rose failed to ask him what he thinks of the movie, Greece, starring Olivia Newton-John and John Travolta.
