Sounds like a reasonable response to me.

I think there are four things which the news media and public have not come to grasp about this mess.

1. The amount of debt and economic issues are probably more serious on the average citizen than everyone imagined. If you are a diabetic....you have to use your own savings and pay cash to get insulin. Name any disease, it’s serum or pills, and if it’s made outside of Greece (90-percent chance), then you will burn up your savings to survive. Since 2009, Greeks have been waiting on the turn-around. It hasn’t happened. It might be two decades before some economic change occurs.

2. The truth is, Greece never was ready for the Euro. It may never be ready for it.

3. Once they end their relationship to the Euro and go back to the Drachma....Greeks will find the economy just about the same and most Greeks will be surviving off the dollar or Euro as their real hard currency....rather than the fake Drachma which everyone will be trading with.

4. If you think this January election is the end of the political chaos....I’d take a deep breathe and prepare for another election before the end of the year. This January election doesn’t really fix anything....it just resets the clock and makes people think there’s still a better chance ahead, where there isn’t.

Greece needs to be cut loose. Plus another fringe countries.

“Let them”? I thought she was stomping on the fingertips that clung to the ledge of union.

Just seemed kinda weird that the lead in is “Merkel will let ...”.
