My fav line in the article:
"The cashpoint at the Greek parliament is reported to have been topped up three times during an emergency session on Saturday night as ministers and MPs scrambled to get their own money out"
Bet the other cashpoints running dry don't get topped up that often! After all, some pigs are more ...

Just like the stupids who elect them.

So they came into Parliament over the weekend not to vote on legislation but rather to get money out of the ATMs in Parliament?

They got an ATM right on the floor of the Legislature!
I wonder if they have one on the floors of our House and Senate!
It could be set up to accept funds transfer orders right from the internet!

I withdrew some money, in case the contagion spreads after they default.

Why do I think this date (July 7, 2015) is a lie?

After all, some pigs are more ... Aw, you beat me to it. I'd be willing to bet a paycheck that if that were the U.S. Congress exactly the same thing would be happening.

You make a good point. Also factor in that the US has potential for chaos if conditions lead that way.

Not a bad idea. Get it before having cash is a crime.

Exhibit A for why socialism doesn’t work is Greece.
Exhibit B is Obama’s America.

How long does it take to reprogram the banks' computers to switch to drachmas? Be sure to include time to program space for the extra zeros for the inevitable hyperinflation.

When you start hearing reassurances, about the last thing you should be is reassured.

They’ve run their country like this for 2,000 years. At now least now, they have printing presses Zimbabwe sold them - along with their prize flag battleship!
