That's a bit a simplistic way to view the situation. Greek People is not a single individual.
To take an analogy, that would be like talking about a family. A cousin you have never met decide to take a loan "in the name of the family" and spend it on himself when you were a kid. Several years later the debt collector knocks on your door and you try to negotiate a deal to save your furniture.
Does "Family who have lived beyond their means want to continue living beyond their means." really describe your situation ? In that situation you would rather not want the cousin to pay ?
