The difference is that we (americans) believe in the morality and hard work of the Polish people and we didn’t believe the same of the greeks (and were correct). So debt forgiveness for political assistance will ensure that rearmament for poland is somehow subsidized quietly.

Any population consists of a distribution of interests and biases. Unions convert a distribution into a concentration. This concentration of capital is large and influential. Public bias: Teachers, schools, and unions may be collectively bad by ‘my teacher’ is ok(ingroup defense)
