Eurozone membership is 'irrevocable', EU says
2015-01-07
h/tGates of Vienna
A country's membership in the eurozone is "irrevocable," a European Commission spokeswoman said Monday when asked about Greece's possible exit from the single currency union following elections this month.

"Euro membership is irrevocable," spokeswoman Annika Breidthardt told reporters, saying the rule was enshrined in article 140, paragraph 3 of the Lisbon Treaty.
Unbreakable Union of freeborn Republics,
Great Russia has welded forever to stand.
Created in struggle by will of the people,
United and mighty, our Soviet land!

#14  The Greek Government should just print up about a Trillion euro notes, put them on pallets in a warehouse and take some pictures to let everyone know that they have all the liquidity necessary to cover their debts.

If the eurocrats don't support them, then they can release the warehouse and not only pay all their debt, but buy most of the German bunds to ensure a positive income stream long into the future.
