8:38 PM - PublicGermany would merely soak up the damage caused by a Greek departure: "Greece's exit does not mean the end of the euro. Above all, Germany has a fundamental interest in preserving the common currency remains. Would the D-mark re-introduced, they would add value compared to other currencies. The export industry, the engine of the German economy would be damaged. How about Italy's exit? Or Portugal's? Or Spain's? At what point does it become unbearable for German taxpayers to burn their wealth to preserve a system that virtually nobody but a few select career politicians demand?

7:58 PM - - PublicIt all sounds nice but where will they borrow the money to do those things - anybody who owns a Greek bond is a fool, anyone who loans them a penny is an idiot and irresponsible - sadly the US via the IMF will rush in to fill the gap as smarter folks bailout - isn't it nice to know that your tax dollars are propping up Greece.
