Clearly these people had no serious intent to actually negotiate an agreement to help Greece out of this situation. It was always "my way or highway", with their way being more spending cuts disproportionally affecting the Greek working class. Or is NYT a leftist rag now?

[Okay, maybe Mike Johnson is a competent parliamentarian.]

This sensibility on the right and in the center and among the Very Serious People that because the rogues' gallery that is Greece's recent string of governments has behaved poorly and negotiated in bad faith that somehow means that Greece's creditors are worth rooting for or respecting in any way has got to stop. Whether or not a country is solvent on paper or 'competitive' or whatever the hell else means nothing in the face of the serious, immediate human need that the poor put-upon creditors seem ideologically opposed to lifting a finger to alleviate.
