Exactly what the Soros and Obama team want to happen here in America, only in about 14 months from now. Wait and see, they will float some trial balloons about this in the middle of summer of 12.
Germany and France cannot continue to prop up failed governments in the EU. Its not economically feasible. The EU will eventually collapse when Spain, Italy's come calling for their bailouts, and they will.
We are trying to play the same game as they are and Keynesian economics just do not work. Haven't we learned that in the last 3 years?
It's more like the end of the beginning. The Greek officials will do what they have to do regardless of what the protesters do. They really have no other choice other than default, which would end up hurting their country a lot more than the austerity measures they will vote to approve.

Let's hope it's the beginning of the end for Britain's membership of the EU as we know it: Parliament is going to vote next week on a national referendum on staying a member on the current terms (), loosening the terms of membership () or getting out altogether ()
if you think the world will not be effected by a Greek default you are sadly mistaken.
It will be the start of a domino effect. Right behind Greece is Italy, Portugal and Spain.
Then..France/Germany will have lots of defaulted debt so then they will be in trouble.
How much has Uncle Ben given to them ? Who knows because our Fed is so secretive that we may not find out until it all comes out in the wash.
