#13  To have monetary union without fiscal union was always wishful thinking.

I think 'piiged is a better term. As in, Germany won't let itself be piiged into paying Portugal, Italy, Ireland, etc's debts.

#12  Yes but it is not currently used in a political context. California really Greeked the Federal government when they defaulted. For example.

#8  I've always felt that the end game if the EU continues is the disolution of the various nation states. At some point Bavaria will look at the rest of Germany the way the Germans are looking at the Greeks right now.

#7  Well Tea-bagger has joined the political lexicon, how long before Greek is used as a double-ententra as well?

#4  If Germany left the EU, it would be better for them (less drag on their economy and money by the rest of the lesser states) and a quicker end to the EU.

#3  'Anybody got a crowbar?' ... would be my guess.

#2  "Die Griechen kannst leck mich im Arsch", would be one way the Germans would likely put it.

#1  Without the Germans, Greece is out of the Euro and sooner rather than later.
