Just a few hours ago Greek PM Tsipras addressed his nation imploring then to "remain calm" and reassuring them that their "deposits were safe." It appears the Greeks did not believe him.

Keep Calm...

Socialism officially becomes Communism when other people’s money runs out and the government guns come out.

It won't take a generation.
However, in the US, the government can inflate its way out of bank runs. Greece can't do that. It's tethered to the Euro.

Glenn Beck predicted this years ago and poo pooed. Too bad he has changed from what he used to be.
It’ll be interesting to see when/if the rest of what he predicted comes true.

This could be the US in five years or it could even be the US and 6 months.

It's not funny, really. It's ironic and tragic.

A significant terrorist attack, electric grid failure or Internet outage here could cause panic like this also. Keep some extra cash on hand.

You think there’s a generation left? Sorry, but it’s too late. The US is just as over-leveraged as the EU, we just get the privilege of hitting the ground last because status of the dollar.
