Greece is a good arguement for states’ rights and the decentralization of government. If it wasn’t for the Euro and the European Union, all of Europe wouldn’t be getting hammered by this.

Additionally, if we had less federal government influence and power, we’d be more secure as a nation because a collapse of the federal government wouldn’t be as painful if they didn’t have much power. The federal government needs to defend us and that’s about it.

I know I am stating the obvious to people with just a little bit of common sense but it’s a shame liberls don’t get it.

I also realize that my observation isn’t going to do much to help Greece and it’s probably too late for to help the USA. We’re almost too far down the tubes already.

It never seemed to me to make sense for Greece to belong to the European Union. Physically it may be part of Europe, but culturally it's something different. While Europe was going through the Renaissance, the Reformation, and the Enlightenment, Greece was under the rule of an alien despotic government. (In one sense they didn't need the Renaissance, since they had never lost touch with their ancient heritage the way western Europeans had, but there was more to the Renaissance than reviving ancient knowledge.)

Maybe instead of bailing them out, the European Union should be waving good-bye. Maybe then the Greeks will get serious about fixing the mess they are in.
