Is the Greek debt a “contagious infection” … or the “European Union is hit by cancer”?

Is the Greek debt a “contagious infection” … or the “European Union is hit by cancer”? If “EU is hit by cancer” then the “antibiotics” proposed to “fight the Greek debt” will have no effect to the patient.

But let’s see what newspapers wrote the last days. Some newspapers wrote; “Moody's slashed Portugal's credit rating by four notches from Baa1 to Ba2 with a negative outlook after markets closed on Tuesday” other; “Europe lashes out over downgrades” and other; “Greece: Fears of debt contagion see Portugal's bonds downgraded to junk”.

The point is that some newspapers and the EU’s institutions and politicians seem to believe that the Greek debt is a “contagious infection” and they oblige all the “infected states” to gulp the same antibiotics. The medicine is always austerity measures and recession. It is obvious that all exorcise any development measures fearing something. And I wonder what are they afraid of? To cure “bankrupt states” or to “radiate” the whole EU’s financial system? Or may the autopsy and the treatment be different but the outcome the same?

One with ardent imagination can think; Does the cure of “bankrupt states” jeopardize other EU’s states? Do the development measures cause a reverse situation? And if the EU is indeed hit by cancer is there any danger that the “radiation” of the EU at the whole could kill the patient? If one thinks so then indeed … the outcome of the treatment is the same … regardless the autopsy and the treatment …

This may sound weird … but has a point … and if it is true then someone won’t be cured …
