Greek Debt Talks Have Collapsed



Daily Mail: Greece snubs 'absurd' bailout offer from EU despite their being just two weeks to go until Athens runs out of cash

* Talks on the economy between Greek and EU finance minsters collapse
* Current bailout runs out in two weeks and Greece needs an extension
* But Athens rejected a new bailout offer saying that it was 'absurd'
* If no deal is reached, Greece will not be able to service its debt
* The country will run out of money and not be able to pay civil servants

WNU Editor: This is not going to end well .... especially for Greece.

WNU .. I think it will be good for Greece they have suffered through austerity BS for long enough .. lots of initial pain to endure but with a collapsed currency .. they will look very attractive to foreign currencies ie: tourism/labor costs/resources/real estate etc.
Foreign money flow wing in and lifting the economy ..
People with no debt and a job will be miles ahead of most people in NA.
