Greece should just get on with the enevitable and drop out of the EU and return to their own monetary system and currency, the Drachma. The Greeks have been gaming the EU (specifically Germany) for the past six years by delaying any positive moves toward a free market economy by taking any systemic actions against their numerous fiscal, privatization, and regulatory problems.

You mean that you think they should drop out of the Eurozone, not the EU. The EU or European Union is a governmental body, not an economic one.

The only reason they'd do that is to have the power to inflate the currency which would allow them to print their way out of government debt and -- at the same time -- inflate away what wealth the Greek private sector has managed to create.

They may well, but it won't solve their long-term economic problems.
