Well, the IMF and ECB&#x27;s time scale for predicted recovery in Greece has been 18 months ever since austerity was implemented in 2009.<p>So that&#x27;s roughly four complete and total fuck ups in a row.<p>How much more time do you need?<p>There&#x27;s always a chance, of course, that austerity is utterly destructive towards the Greek economy but very good for German financiers (with the ear of the ECB) who would like to pick up a port or state electric company on the cheap and who like the flood of cheap labor the austerity crisis has instigated.
