Europe has left Greece hanging in the wind
2010-03-29
However you dress it, the Greek package agreed by EU leaders is a capitulation to German-Dutch demands. There will be no European debt union as long as Angela Merkel remains Iron Chancellor of Germany.

#4  I see no compelling moral argument for the proposition that one country is obligated to bail out another country which has become insolvent.

Certainly not if that second country (or individual or whatever) has chosen to work very hard to become insolvent. Greece and California have consistently chosen to do things that have increased their indebtedness while driving away their most profitable businesses.
