What the heck is going on with this? We bailed out the Banks some time back.......now we're helping to BAIL OUT a country???

What the heck is really going on with Greece? Do you see that Socialism does not work - just look at Greece.

The problem isn't Greece specifically, it's the EU that Greece affects, which is a much larger piece of the pie, more of a domino affect.

It's just another step in the direction of uniting all countries under one umbrella aka new world order. We basically depend on each other as it currently stands, because certain states we rely on are "too big to fail."

WARNING! If you don't like licorice you won't like Ouzo

Sounds disgusting anyway. The Greeks should pour out 40oz's of Ouzo in memory of their country. Maybe they can scrounge up 300 Spartans to save them...300 billion Spartans.

Let them get go to China for a loan directly instead of us lending them China's money!

We're not part of the EU. It helps us if the euro goes in the tank!

No kidding? The UNITED STATES OF AMERICA isn't in the EUROPEAN UNION? Thanks for clarifying

And it helps if the Euro tanks about as much as it helped the world ecomony when the USD tanked with the housing bubble burst.

I hope you are being just trying to be funny. If you are not, crawl out from under the superiority rock of the USA and realize we have a world economy where countries depend on the stability of each others economy.

NO, I wasn't kidding. EU goes down, the (value of the) Dollar goes up!

Remeber that stock market boon that was the 1990's? The best economic growth in like the history of the NYSE. Remeber how great the economy was in Europe?

Thank you. I rest my case!

This is the year 2010 and the western world economies are intertwined with each other. If one economy falters, the rest sag down with it. It's not a case where "they fail and we succeed." If the EU's economy struggles, the US economy will feel the effects of it.

The insular ignorance of some folks is frightening sometimes. The Euro going down the tubes would NOT be good for the US, or for the rest of us.

None of us on this side of the pond are chuckling about Lehman's.

Blame it all on the Illuminati...... they rule the flow of money...!!!

The situation is bad. (I disagree with everyone here who says Greece needs a bailout because we are "intertwined," the fact that we are intertwined is all the more reason not to give them a bailout.)

But that doesn't mean we can't take it with a sense of humor: http://www.abc.net.au/news/video/2010/05/20/2905304.htm
