Greece Bailouts....free bailouts and zero risk....just keep bailing them out, guess it didn't work since they are days from a so called default...
$145 BILLION BAILOUT in MAY 2010
$181 Billion bailout in July 2011
HOW MANY MORE HUNDREDS OF BILLIONS ARE THEY GOING TO RECEIVE
I'm sure the parties involved have a priority to best serve what is good for Greece moving forward and minimizes as much as possible the losses that various creditors have long term. I'm also sure they couldn't care less the impact good or bad on US equity markets.
In the 1970s ( I believe it was that decade ), most of South America defaulted on most of their loans. Canadian banks took a big hit. My point is life goes on, those South American countries started on a fresh basis and those who loaned them the money took the hit. If it was advantageous for Greece to default, I'm sure it would happen. I would suggest to you that international debt is a complicated topic and unless you are involved directly, your knee jerk reactions to the news don't achieve anything.
