[P2P-F] Greek Elections

Sun May 6 21:52:50 CEST 2012

Does the enonomy need to be controlled at all right now or could a  
hands off approach be the best approach to solve the crisis?  Is the  
government making a bad situation worse by artificially manipulating  
the economy?  I personally believe the answer might be relaxing  
regulations, loosen controls, and allow markets to correct themselves  
naturally.

That won't solve the debt crisis externally but it could help bring  
stability internally.
