I guess it's my day to rant and rave, but I couldn't stop myself when bumping onto today's BBC
Greek story. I'd like to turn your attention to BBC's informative graph above, which beautifully illustrates that in fact, Greece leads the EU countries with largest percentage of debt out of GDP
... (drum roll please)
second only to Italy. Why is then Greece and not Italy getting the ironic "preferential treatment" in the press these days? What's so special about Greece that isn't happening in Italy? Or Spain & Portugal for that matter? Why not treat them as a unit, as the PIGS* they truly are?
*PIGS = Portugal, Italy, Greece and Spain
