#1 It's time to stand back and watch.

It will be a good lesson to those who advocate the type of liberal nanny state policies that have turned Greece into a collapsing near failed state.

Also consider Goldman Sach's contribution as financial advisers to the Greek government in which part of the advice was to cook the books and lie to the IMF and the EU about the amount of debt...and to do a lot of creative hijinks with bonds and monetary policy.

Funny didn't Goldman Sachs essentially do the same thing with Freddy Mac and Fanny Mae?

Why isn't everyone of these geniuses at Goldman Sachs in jail instead of enjoying their wealth sucked from the carcass of Goldman Sachs.

#2 "We are in a difficult situation; the Greek people said no but 18 other members agreed on the proposals of which Greeks said no."

This sentence is really scary.

#3 About the same level of "scary" as the 40-45 percent of American voters who believe the Champ is doing a fair to better than average job as president.

As long as the 'free stuff' keeps coming, the politics is not likely to change.

#4 The head line should read "EU politicians Avoid Coming To Grips With The Results From Greece".

#5 Just got back from the UK and France. Had a very profound visit to Omaha and Utah Beaches. We met some very good people in our travels. Getting back to Reykjavik and eventually Anchorage AK, it feels good to be home. Looking at the big picture, the world is going through the beginnings of a very painful reset. Financially, it is not sustainable. We as a country will have to relearn a lot of basic lessons. The rest is fluff.

#6 ..except the urbanist think the fluff is so important, more so than things like farming, creating energy, clean water. Well, some in Cali are waking up to the latter, but its too late.

It'll be interesting to see what happens when the free stuff stops.

#8 It'll be interesting to see what happens when the free stuff stops.

Just don't live in any Urban, or Suburban areas when it does. Its going to be the mother-of-all Riots.

Because eventually they will run out of other people's money.

#9 Like a cancer, cut the freeloadersGreeks off now if you ( EU)weenies want to stay solvent employed; otherwise stand by to watch other countries try the same sh!t.

#10 "No" from Greek voters must be respected.

It translate into "FUCK YOU WE WONT PAY!!!"
But have no fear, fellow socialists will keep throwing money into the black hole, led from behind by Barry Hussein Soetoro-Obama and his tranny Mike Robinson...
