“Fiscal Olympian Gods”…punish Greece

Lightning raining down

English newspaper The Telegraph came up with the new pantheon of Greek Gods after the debt ridden country agreed on Monday to push through a series of harsh measures in exchange for a 3-year bailout plan to salvage its economy and position in the Eurozone. The terms of agreement are so cruel that some have characterized it as a form of ‘occupation’. German Chancellor Angela Merkel, French President Francois Hollande and IMF head Christine Lagarde are depicted as the new Olympian Gods punishing Greece by throwing down lightning bolts against the country.
