Most of the "payments" came straight back to the USA in terms of goods unavailable to a ruined European economy. There was nothing in the least altruistic or "good" about it. Some countries still haven't repaid.<br /><br />There's no point in an equivalent plan if all it does is hand the same kind of profiteering ripoff to the same kind mentalities, this time of the European variety.<br /><br />Greece needs to be as self sufficient as possible, not dependent on capitalism. More to the point, the self-appointed tax exempt millionaires and bribed upper class need to cough up legitimate tax payments or face a debilitating period in the slammer.
