That is why they are in so much trouble ......... Greece can’t do that as it does not have a sovereign currency or it’s own independent Central Bank, it has only the ECB. The Greeks can print a limited amount of Euro in specific value notes but nowhere near enough to solve the problem. All they can do is borrow more until they have no assets left for the Banks to seize. Then I assume they are just declared bankrupt ..... and thrown out of the Euro.
I don't think this prediction is correct.
Cuts on wages are so huge that is hard for me to believe that the average value of work produced by the average Greek is about 600 Euros per month, which is what they get paid today. It's at least 2 times as much.
From that alone the Greek working people get stolen 2 billion per month.
Not hard to imagine how long should this stealing continue for Greece to get back on it's own feet.
but even if that true, the money is more going to business. Not Greek debt.
But anyway, the Greek debt is something that will never be addressed in our life time. And Greece is literally stuck now as well and can't leave the Eurozone because it will be stuck with a Euro debt of nearly 200% of GDP.
The only way they could have really crewed the Eurozone and ECB right up, was to default. Now that would have been mayhem for a while for the bastards of the ECB.
