If Greece breaks of from the banks and declares themselves debt-free, it's doable. Give the pensions without the extras. Raise the retirement age. Deport non-citizens. Encourage Greeks from all over the world to come to their homelands for vacations, perhaps invest in Greece.

There is no evidence that globalism and the destruction of national identities is benefitting anyone except for the elitists on the top of the totem pole.

If they'd done that, they'd be able to pay their debts and stay in the EU.

Instead, they'll suffer thru months of turbulence, crush their economy and end up paying their government employees and retirees much less, because they'll be paying in drachmas.

Instead of a 10% cut and stability and the possibility of growth, they'll get 20% cuts, or more, instability and recession.
