Long live the drachma and cheaper holidays in that beautiful country.
once a year.
whatever they do, i just hope that i can continue going there
to eat their food, dip in their waters, and litter their streets
with my crap.
i also like bribing their cops to let me steal chunks of their
historic monuments.
thank heaven i'm married. i heard happy endings there could
go as low as 5 a pop after their pull from the eurozone.

If the EU ( Germany ) cannot do any kind of a deal with Greece,
this may mean that Greece will exit the bailout early without
any agreement on debt repayment.
This will mean that Greece may leave the Eu
and therefore leave the Euro zone.
This will mean they will have to bring back their
old currency the Drachma.
If this happens then Gree ...[text shortened]... ntry
to leave the EU and the Euro currency.
Could be history in the making..................
Remember, even if they bail out on their debts and leave the EU they are still broke - and now everybody will realise that you can't afford to lend them anything.

So, an anti austerity party has gained well in Greece.
The Greek Prime Minister has conceded defeat.
Syriza the far left anti austerity party victor is
talking tough and has given 2 fingers to Germany
and the rest of the EU.
Greece may leave the EU and the Euro
if no agreement can be reached between
Syriza and the EU.
Ha ha ha, Europe may be separate nations again
like they were meant to be.

In "Debates" they look for topics which are not USA-centered. Here we do have one 🙂
In fact I fear that there are some misconceptions:
* The EU is not governed by Germany
* Greece might be hard driven to pay back money if they return to the Drachma and that spirals into free fall.
* Greeks won't be happy when their banks fail.
* Rich Greeks won't suffer with the rest of the nation.
