How about disastrous loans which can never be paid off, which only benefit the elite?
I fail to see how the average Greek citizens (not the ones in neighborhoods with a Porsche in every driveway) will be any worse off. Assuming that just about everyone in Greece has safe cash and assets somewhere where the gov can't get it, I'd think barter will do just fine. Tourists? Solid foreign currencies will cover that.
Greece has the same problem the US and a lot of other countries do. Loans were made with printing press money. They only benefitted the elite. They can never be paid off. But while this fiasco continues, the "little folk" are supposed to pay back that fake money by giving up their real assets and benefits.
The question is if at some point will the bankers and other globalist/elitist manipulators have to head for the hills?

Pretty much what my cousins in Athens were saying yesterday afternoon. They are heading down to the village until after the referendum.
That's a good point. Both Fed and ECB policy is to "stimulate" the economy by shoveling money into the largest banks, paying for pork gobbling contractors, etc. One difference with Greece is their oversized public sector. The money has been spent by both the elite and the public sector employees. In both cases it did not benefit the country as a whole.
