I really don’t see how this is a good thing for Greece, or Greeks, to keep pushing the inevitable out.
To: bruinbirdman
“. . . bows to global pressure”?? Come on. They did it on their terms.

That clinking/clunking sound you hear is the can being kicked down the road once again.
Greece, like GM, too big to fail.

“If we achieve a left dominated government.”
We will then just openly steal(refuse to pay back) all that money and tell the world to kiss off.

My German friends were pissed at the amount of money they had to pay to rebuild east Germany after the wall fell, I can’t imagine they are tickled about having to pay to support lazy f%$ks in Greece......

Aww, shoot, only 14 billion? Around here, that's considered chump change, and hardly worthy of an earmark to budget that amount...
More seriously, what's the plan for the next service in 3 months? The Greek economy, which was built as a house of cards, has run out of deck, and they're picking out new cards from the bottom level. The only real money pumping into the economy (much like the United States) is the government borrowed debt.
Trigger all those debt default swaps and let Armageddon hit the financial markets. Let it happen on a Friday, everyone will whine over the weekend, and I betcha come the following Friday that somehow, some way, the banks managed to figure out how not to commit financial meltdown.

"It would be even harder for Greece to repay its debts with a devalued drachma"Which is exactly why they should get defaulting over with and exit the Euro. It will happen one way or another, sooner or later.

". . . bows to global pressure?? Come on. They did it on their terms."Some Germans/Austrians are quoted saying nice things today. Maybe they don't want a meltdown before March 20.
In any event, plenty of German, Greek and EU pols are looking at default and/or drachma.
Nothing has changed but some words.

Greece is no different from Obama - give in and the beggar will be back within a matter of months sniveling “well, I spent my allowance already and I still need to buy my stuff for school.”

Today they can kick the can down the road, what happens when the can grows into a boulder. Get a broken foot if one attempts to kick it down the road.

Kicking the can down the road again I see.
Greece is a cancer growth. Lazy people until they open a restaurant in the US.

Europes key powers are on the brink of a 130bn (£108bn) debt deal to rescue Greece and avert delay the first sovereign default in Western Europe in over half a century.Default is inevitable. It is only a matter of time. They can delay it but they can't prevent it. The insolvent are lending to the insolvent. Everybody be broke, Mon.

“It would be even harder for Greece to repay its debts with a devalued drachma..”
Apparently creditors, “buying” for time, are very desperate for a bailout fall-guy.
Fall-guy speak.

You're saying Ron Paul is right? Its clear interference in other country's business causes pain for the citizens of the interfering country.
