Greece has lots to sell: <Argentina has stuff to sell, Greece does not.> The most valuable thing a country has to sell is its political design. Singapore went from a steamy swamp to one of the world's wealthiest places. Hong Kong went from a colonial sweaty outpost to something to do with galactic freedom with wealth to match. Both have zero "to sell" but they got loads of money.

Greece has actually got a lot more to sell.

Greece, the supposed founding state of democracy [in a way], could redesign democracy and sell Tradable Citizenships by the million, collecting $trillions in the process. Unlike Hong Kong and Singapore, there is actually sufficient room that a million or three new citizens could live there, especially if it was only part time [during the NZ winter, or Euro summer, or to escape the depredations of China's or Russia's bosses].

Repaying the debt is silly. It was agreed to by people who had no business committing other people to the debts. The creditors took a risk and they lost. Bad luck for them.

Tradable Citizenship is extremely valuable. Greece could lead the world in 3 years. But it takes some imagination to achieve such things and they likely lack the necessary brain power.

Apart from citizenship, Greece has loads of lovely islands and coastline. Not to mention an escape from 2020 reglaciation.

There are plenty of solution to solve the Greece and Portugal issue

Invite the professional people to work in Germany and France where unemployment is critically low with tax incentive and put an emergency tax to all mony that is repatrieted outside the EU by Turkish and N.Africa workers.

At least they will forced to leave to their own countries generating more workplaces for EU citizens
