The greek people didn't cause this, it was their government. They had no more control over their government than you or I do. The corporations control the government, because they control everything through lobbying.

Since corporations are generally run by rich conservatives, then tell me, who ran up the debt bill?

Let's face it people, the powers that be use governments to put as much debt onto the public as they can. That's the entire game. Then when the debt is so big that it can't be settled, they get all protectionist, point to the poor people and say THEY DID IT!

The only problem is the inability to saddle the working class with more debts - or to put it more correctly - the belief that the banks who lend the money will be able to remain solvent with the debt loads.

So many people have been sucking the average guy dry that the fat cats are just scared that there won't be anyone left to mooch from, at which point they'll be unable to keep the "market" headed upwards.

Yet we all know that going up forever can't work. It's really just the capitalist system showing its cracks finally.
