The Greek's are instead about to experience in 3 months what the UK has experienced over the last 30 years, a massive sale of the country's assets to make a quick buck.

The Greeks have a wonderful opportunity for change. If they default old habits stay and the cycle begins again. (UK Government, meet the new boss same as the old boss)
If they EU stays in Greece the government may actually have to start acting like one. Do you know even with the latest tax increases they Greek people are still no where near UK tax payers."Never argue with stupid people, they will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience".

OTOH if they default, the govt will be incapable of borrowing money from anywhere for a number of years, and then they'll really have to start living within their means."A life, Jimmy, you know what that is?
