Wow...the head of a vast financial institution demanded that the leader of a nation step down. Greed rules the world.

Debtors refusing to pay their bills getting their stuff repo'd? This is not exactly a surprise.

The surprise will be if the cumulative debt of the world will be paid by this world.

Is this even a bad thing? Multiple Greek governments in a row have shown they can't run a country.

Hell, maybe it's time to dissolve Greece as a country and make it a ward-state of the EU itself. Let them make minor decisions but always have to abide by the central authority's decisions first.

Umm! I may be mis-informed but I am under the impression that the reason the last couple of Greek Governments failed was becuase of the debt deals. They have always had their backs against the wall. There is only so much you can do with what you have. When most of the "loans" are used to pay interest to other "loans", bailouts, and such. If the government cannot use the money to build the nation how can it advance. This is nothing more then the principle of predatory lending that took down the housing market in the US. Greece has been forced for years to make bad agreements in order to "save" Europe from it's ultimate fate. I have a feeling after all this mess. The UK will solidify their position to move out of Europe, and frankly......They should.
