The Greeks voted no to the European Union's terms, despite warnings from the EU that rejecting new austerity terms would set their country on a path out of the Eurozone. 62% voted "No" while 38% voted "Yes".

    The USA should offer to pay in full Greek debt on the condition that Greece becomes the 51st state of the United States.

    I mean, no matter what Republicans talk, if a State defaults, the Federal government is going to bail her out.
    The EU should realize this. An offer as the AC suggests would make this point nicely. US of A takes care of their own.

    You mean take on another group of do-nothing moochers who expect a government pension for the rest of their lives? We already have enough of them ... they're called Congress.

      Let it crash. Russia doesn't rescue squirrels, it collects road kill.
