#3 Perhaps the Greeks could issue bonds for sale to the World Bank, who could then bundle them as derivatives and have our Federal Reserve step in to assume the paper in an open-ended QE move. At that point, heavily regulated US Banks or 401k funds could be forced to purchase the paper.

Oh WAIT!

#5 Antonis Samaras said the "till will be empty" by November, adding it was "very difficult" to make any further cuts to pensions and wages.

Hmmm...if you run out of money, there's a one hundred percent cut of pensions and wages. After skipping a couple paydays, I suspect the recipients will be happy with something less than one hundred percent, but greater than nothing.

#8 As I recall, Aris took a job in England after he graduated from university, and was happily working his tail off, glad to be far from Greece.

#12 It's not a union, there's not benefit from cartelising each countries legal systems. Quite the opposite in fact.

It just suits the ruling classes false preconceptions that this time, they're the people who can make marxism work...
