Greek Prime Minister – Financial Advisor To Europe?

Well, he is helping French President Nicolas Sarkozy push a Climate Change carbon tax, to be imposed on financial transactions. Now, maybe it’s just me, but, given the financial condition Greece is in (oh, BTW, in case you haven’t been paying close attention, it’s worse than we thought), I’m thinking that listening to this guy on matters of governance and finance might not be, well, lets just say that might not be the smartest move.

Hat Tip: Big Brained Lubos.

PS. To be fair, he only became Prime Minister in 2009, and inherited the mess. But he has been in the Greek Parliament since 1981, and there are no signs that he was anything close to fiscally conservative up to now. It so easy to recommend a tax… It’s other people’s money. And right now, Greece doesn’t have any of its own.
