Latest Eurozone Developments and Future Implications for Euro Currency: Discussion

Mr. Colm McCarthy:
The picture being painted of the situation in Greece is not entirely factual.

For example, many public officials were let go. It is not true that the Greek Government did nothing post-2010. It had a very bloated public service-----
