Fri, Feb 12 2010BERLIN, March 4 (Reuters) - Greece should consider selling some of its islands as one option to reduce debt, two members of the German parliament in Chancellor Angela Merkel's centre-right coalition said.

Josef Schlarmann, a senior member of Merkel's Christian Democrats, and Frank Schaeffler, a finance policy expert in the Free Democrats, were quoted on Thursday as saying that selling islands and other assets could help Greece out of its crisis.

"Those in insolvency have to sell everything they have to pay their creditors," Schlarmann told Bild newspaper. "Greece owns buildings, companies and uninhabited islands, which could all be used for debt redemption."

Greece has launched an austerity programme designed to secure European help to tackle its crippling debt burden. Opinion polls show Germans are overwhelmingly against taxpayers bailing out Greece.

Well, do you think Greece should start selling off public land? Does anyone here have some free money with which they wish to go half and half on a Greek isle with me?

Not a half bad idea, most of the islands are uninhabited anyways.

Just as well conservatives don't rack up huge debt with out of control spending and low taxes!

Greece needs to be careful, you can only sell your assets once. Austerity is needed and seems to be the direction being taken, depsite the protests.

Not even fucking close to bankrupt, though. Nixon was truer capitalist (he also improved health care, supported Affirmative Action, and tired to increase welfare), and he cut the debt.

Greece? Socialist?

[Crabulonia]

Why can't Greece just devalue their currency?

Oh wait, that's right. Only their German overlords can agree to that.

Dibs on Lesbos. I hear the women there have no souls.

Heh, you're going bankrupt too, but without the satisfaction of being socialist in the meantime.

They tended to rip out their eyes though, now they rip out their colon, just to be freaky.

Double fix'd. There's no reason we can't share blame. Except that sharing is communist, of course.
Anybody feel like sharing?

I don't get it. Explain if you want to, though I'm not to bothered. I don't get every joke, 'tis OK.

The US is also not subject to regulation by an Economic Community. Greece ISN'T going bankrupt, it's just getting pushed around by the other nations it has entered into agreements with.
