¶ … Greece and Their Ongoing Financial Crisis Today's financial crisis has spread way beyond America's borders. Many nations across the globe have found themselves in deep financial hot water. Even the European Union, which was showing such a strong economy, is beginning to unravel. Eurozone countries like Greece are now on the brink of collapse, and so their financial woes are hurting the overall value of the Euro and the state of the European Union itself.

The article by Kyriakidou and Georgiopoulos examines the ongoing crisis within Greece over its failing economy. Prime Minister Antonis Samaras has pledged to do everything in his power to keep the country in the Eurozone, which means that Greece will continue to use the Euro and be involved in the European Union financial environment. This decision comes with a promise to meet all target goals set out in the bail out program that is providing Greece with 130 billion...

Still, the Prime Minister is expressing some bad news in that Greece will not be able to meet target goals for this bail out in the time set out originally when the bail out was created. Essentially, repayment on such a short time period will only continue to keep Greece in a tumultuous financial state, says the Greek Prime Minister. Samaras did generate his own plan for economic recovery and growth in order to help smooth over the fact that Greece will not be able to repay the loans on time as previously thought. He wants to make the country easier to work with foreign investments and to increase tax measures on a viable scale that would not harm the Greek citizens too much. Still, his plans will not be able to begin repayment for the bailout on time, and he is begging for more time in order to keep the country afloat.
