I just thought of an excellent source of fiscal stimulus... now if we could only convince the ECB to underwrite it...


Again, it is simple: just repossess Greece and sell it to the Germans. It should be more than enough cash.


I love this fantasy that the Germans /want/ anything Greece has.

Not how it works with sovereign debt.

The lenders can't foreclose on Greece except to the extent that the Greeks allow that in exchange for future loans. A sovereign debtor can just tell the lenders "too bad" but of course in that case nobody will lend them anything for quite a while into the future.

It seems they used a lousy optical cable connection. As a result the clocks at Geneva and Gran Sasso were not correctly synchronized. :scratch: I liked my explanation earlier in this thread as much more elegant :cry:
