Bailout boys are good for our democracy

LET’S hear it for the imperial forces exercising their will on the country.

The bailout boys were back in town last week and they got a hard time of it from elements in the media. They are portrayed as imperial forces imposing austerity on the country’s citizens.

Really? A case can be made that the bailout boys are exactly what we need right now. Perhaps the country isn’t just financially broke, but has got to the point where its democracy is also kaput, and some commonsense from the Troika is just what the doctor ordered.
