I know you are being rhetorical but even New York Times would agree the Greek government is more corrupt than the German government. Some level of corruption is inevitable in every ruling class; an old Chinese saying is that pure water has no fish: no one will work in a graft-free institution. Your rhetorics is not helpful at the current critical juncture; cooler heads must prevail. It is far more important to consider whether the existing economic, financial, and political arrangement is sustainable and whether Greeks may be better off with a clean slate. A massive European aid program is necessary in any case and the current level of Greek debt is unrealistic. Why not acknowledge the facts and spend money on people to help them get back on their feet and at least reap political good-will, which is sorely lacking right now. Muddling through has not worked so far. If a fourth bailout becomes necessary, it will be a political earthquake with strategic implication for the rest of the world. God, I hope it does not come to pass.
