> Regarding Greece, a default would be more a political problem rather than an economical one

It's both. He cleverly ignores the real issue: Whatever happens in Greece is going to set the precedent for Portugal, Spain and Italy.

Or to put it another way: The only way to save Greece is to give them a pony. Then everyone is going to want a pony.

Agreed for portugal and spain.

Regarding Italy, we have a too big debt to repay. Either we make it or break the european union alltogether.

I dont believe France and Germany are going to give us a pony, nor I believe they have the funds to do so :-(
