高盛把希腊推进了火坑

看了《纽约时报》上的一篇文章，披露了欧元区债务危机的内幕：

希腊为了加入欧元区，需要降低它的债务；

希腊政府用未来的财政税收作抵押，向高盛借了大笔的帐外贷款（这简直就是希腊版的《二十一条》啊！），

把政府的负债表给做平了，顺理成章地通过了欧元区的考核。

这是2001年的事情。

It had worked before. In 2001, just after Greece was admitted to Europe’s monetary union, Goldman helped the government quietly borrow billions, people familiar with the transaction said. That deal, hidden from public view because it was treated as a currency trade rather than a loan, helped Athens to meet Europe’s deficit rules while continuing to spend beyond its means.

In Greece, the financial wizardry went even further. In what amounted to a garage sale on a national scale, Greek officials essentially mortgaged the country’s airports and highways to raise much-needed money.

Aeolos, a legal entity created in 2001, helped Greece reduce the debt on its balance sheet that year. As part of the deal, Greece got cash upfront in return for pledging future landing fees at the country’s airports. A similar deal in 2000 called Ariadne devoured the revenue that the government collected from its national lottery. Greece, however, classified those transactions as sales, not loans, despite doubts by many critics.

2009年，贷款到期，希腊无钱可还，高盛便提出将贷款展期，

但是展期附加的条款更加苛刻，估计是高利贷那种，

希腊政府这回没敢同意，于是高盛逼债，于是希腊债务危机爆发。

Banks eagerly exploited what was, for them, a highly lucrative symbiosis with free-spending governments. While Greece did not take advantage of Goldman’s proposal in November 2009, it had paid the bank about $300 million in fees for arranging the 2001 transaction, according to several bankers familiar with the deal.

George Alogoskoufis, who became Greece’s finance minister in a political party shift after the Goldman deal, criticized the transaction in the Parliament in 2005. The deal, Mr. Alogoskoufis argued, would saddle the government with big payments to Goldman until 2019.

高盛真是“有人上吊他递绳，有人抹脖他送刀”，太黑了。

以高盛为代表的犹太人做的太过份了。

想想犹太这个民族到那个地方都受不待见，历史上被其它很多民族攻击，想想也不是没道理的。
