Greece Unblocks Subsidy for Formula 1 Track Construction


By Paul Tugwell - Oct 1, 2012 6:25 PM ET
Greece unblocked a subsidy of 28.9 million euros ($37.2 million) for the construction of an international-standard racetrack that can be used for staging Formula One car racing, the Ministry of Development said.

Indeed.

Much of the Greek nation cannot afford basic needs such as food to eat and medicine for illlnesses. So what do the elected representatives do? They unblock a subsidy of 28.9 million Euros to perhaps the most elitist, sexist and corrupt sport in the world.

Kickbacks and blowjobs for the rich and connected.

Starvation and death for the people.
