Greece: 11 million. Apx. the size of Los Angeles. Assuming the EU is 400 million or so, it is 2% of the EU.

If 2% can take the whole structure down, then what happens when Germany or France hits the economic wall where the businesses can’t support their spendthrift laws?

"Take Social Security, Medicare and other benefits. Add in interest payments on a national debt that now exceeds $12.3 trillion. It all will gobble up 80 percent of all federal revenues by 2020, government economists project."

What happens when interest rates rise?
