19. I think you are making really bad arguments..

based on a continued failure to understand modern global macroeconomics.

I would like to see you evolve more in your thinking, stop promoting neoliberal policies (intentionally or not) and actually listen to the people who have been right for the last 30 years. Professer Mitchell has made a strong case for a Greek exit, as has professor Roubini. Even Krugman has been calm and reasonable in his assessments of Greece's likely exit.

The world needs to move forward at some point and start to actually put this crisis behind us. Let's stop pretending that the solution involves continued mass sacrifice at the altar of the international banking cabal, because this prescription is very clearly killing the patient.
