Europe’s financial crisis lurched into a perilous new phase as dire predictions emerged of a collapse in Greece’s economy, with a run on its banks bringing an inevitable end to its membership of the euro.
As leaders in Athens accepted the need for a new general election to end a national stalemate, the International Monetary Fund said Europe’s leaders should prepare for the possibility of a Greek departure from the single currency.
Christine Lagarde, head of the IMF, warned she was “technically prepared for anything” and said the utmost effort must be made to ensure any Greek exit was orderly. The effect was likely to be “quite messy” with risks to growth, trade and financial markets. “It is something that would be extremely expensive and would pose great risks but it is part of options that we must technically consider,” she said.
Raising tensions still further, Germany warned Greek voters that the wrong result in next month’s election will force their country out of the single currency.
Greece’s president warned, perhaps most alarmingly, that its banks risk running out of money, posing a “threat to our national existence”.
The escalating turmoil sharpened fears in financial markets, with European shares and the euro itself falling again. On the stock markets, the Eurostoxx 600 fell 0.7 per cent to a year-low; Germany’s Dax dropped 0.8 per cent and Spain’s Ibex was down 1.6 per cent. In London the FTSE100 slid 0.5 per cent. Following this month’s inconclusive election, Greek parties yesterday failed again to agree a new government. A new election, most likely to be held in mid-June, could see more gains for parties that want to reject the austerity measures that are a condition of international efforts to bail out the debt-crippled state.

Now they have bank runs. This is the beginning of the end for the Euro. http://www.wnd.com/2...?cat_orig=money (CNBC) Stocks faded in the final hour of trading Tuesday to finish lower after a transcript from the Greek meeting showed deposits leaving the banking system, fueling speculation that the nation might leave the euro zone. The S&P 500 closed at 3-month lows, while the Dow logged its ninth loss in the last 10 sessions. According to the transcript, Greek depositors recently withdrew 700 million euros from the nation’s local banks, said President Karolos Papoulias, though the exact timing of the transfer was unclear.

And any numbskull economist or analyst that says a greek exit of the Euro can be done orderly is delusional or absolutely full of shit.
This is going to be a global shit show of epcot proportions. Greece is only the first country that will leave the Euro. This is going to spread like cancer. I predict Spain next. But it could be Italy.....the confidence is losing ground.
But, we already knew fiat money never stands the test of time. Only the delusional believe it can last this time.

Contrary to popular belief propagated by the Corporate MSM, this is actually a good thing, in the long run, for the actual people of Greece, and the rest of the world. They're telling the international banksters to fuck off, you don't get reward without risk, and sometimes risk means you lose. You will not hedge your losses on the backs of normal people, who never asked for or received any of your reward when the times were good. My hat is off to the Greeks on this one.

you're just a fear monger
http://en.wikipedia..../Fear_mongering
Fear mongering (or scaremongering or scare tactics) is the use of fear to influence the opinions and actions of others towards some specific end. The feared object or subject is sometimes exaggerated, and the pattern of fear mongering is usually one of repetition, in order to continuously reinforce the intended effects of this tactic, sometimes in the form of a vicious circle.

when George Bush was the President, I was a lot angrier in general.
The fucker wouldn't give anyone an unemployment extension, but he had no problem handing out tax breaks and rebates to the rich... glad that's over... still feeling the effects.
Remember that $400 we got? Was it worth it?
