I'm not surprised that the average Joe in the EU doesn't care. The banksters, though, do care very much.

There was lots of screaming and hollering when Argentina defaulted, but the clean break helped lay the foundation for a decent recovery. (Though debt negotiations dragged out for years.)

Greece needs to do something similar and needs to get out of the Euro if it is to recover. Or the EU/IMF needs to make less onerous terms so that Greece sees a path to recovery.

Cheers,
Scott.
