The Greece debt problem is often misunderstood by Eurosceptics who argue that Greece can't recover because the loans are too much of a burden. However Greece isn't paying interest on most of its loans as they've been given an "interest holiday" while they sort themselves out. Eurosceptics don't understand this basic fact. Writing off the debts would make no difference as Greece isn't paying any interest. Once Greece has recovered then it will slowly pay off the loans. By the time they do, the loans will have shrunk to a manageable level. By not defaulting as Eurosceptics argue means they still have access to the markets to raise new loans, which they wouldn't have had, had they followed the Eurosceptics' advice.
It's good to see that this debate has come to a successful conclusion and that the Eurosceptics have concluded they have nothing useful to add to counter the above argument.
