Good observation - "borrow and renege" is exactly what the Greeks seem to excel at. Anyone from Greece with money or sense has already abandoned ship. Unfortunately they are some who believe we must all suffer together in equal proportions out of either a sense of camaraderie or altruism.

The Greeks are not alone in mismanagement and very soon the dominos will start coming down one after another and no amount of German capital will solve the crisis.

I don’t blame the Greeks for not realizing the philosophy of financing future decades of Greek civilization could be passed on for centuries. Better to crash and burn now than precipitate a bigger event a ten years down the road.
