Its All Greek To Me

What the hell is up with Greece? Every day it seems that country is on the verge of bankruptcy and financial ruin. What I wonder is - what happens if they really do go under? Does another country come in and take over? Do the banks come into Athens and seize the Parthanon? Just what does it mean?

I suspect the Greeks themselves will be pretty pissed off. What will they get from their government - no roads, schools, jobless benefits, medical, subsidies? I know if the US ever declared bankruptcy, I would be pissed off. I would do all I could to eliminate every elected official who let it happen. The US gov't and the US people have an inconceivable economy. Our daily commerce is unfathomable. What if that were to suddenly stop?

Personally, I like going to work and making money. Sure, if I could make money and not work, that would be better, but I am content with doing my part and making what I can from it. I really cannot imagine what it would be like if all of us suddenly stopped working and our economy just ground to a halt.

Come on Greeks! Get your act together. Quit messing with my stocks! Get off your butts and find real solutions to your problems.
