"Go"? Greece has been bankrupt for a decade, and all the malarkey in the time since then has just been a pathetic pantomime so that the major creditors can avoid having to admit it publicly.

Greece is only bankrupt if it's declared bankrupt - until then it is a slow-motion car-crash.

I don't know about "car-crash", I think "Fraudulent Trading" is more appropriate.

If Greece were a business that would be true, instead it's more like the last one into the giant EU Ponzi scheme.

Unsurprising news from Greece.

I think the only thing that surprises me is that Greece has managed to spend four years from 2012 not in recession.

Oooh look!
The fastest-growing economies were Latvia, Lithuania and Portugal, which expanded by 1% in the quarter.
I know what's helping in Portugal

Me too - it's their turn. Growth is handed out by the EC to member countries in alphabetical order. There's not enough to go round you see

Things are not going well for Greece -

https://www.nytimes.com/reuters/2017...sion.html?_r=0

There is still no news on the next set of new loans for Greece - the Greeks need these new loans to pay off their old debts in July.
