Greece financial problem explained:

One day a German tourist came to a hotel in Athens. He dropped 100 Euro to receptionist desk and asked to see what room he could get.
The tourist was given several room keys to inspect. He then left the hotel and and said that would come back later in the day.

The receptionist took the 100 Euro and gave it to the butcher to pay for the meat that ordered
.
The butcher then gave the money to the farmer for the pigs that he bought and paid the debt in full.

The farmer then gave the 100 Euro to the prostitute which serviced him twice.

The prostitute gave the money to the receptionist of the hotel for renting the room the previous day.

Then, the German tourist came back and said that none of the room met his standard, took back the 100 Euro and left.

Everyone's debt has been repaid when no one had any money.

That's what happened with Greece.
