easing (QE) program to would buy up government and corporate bonds? What's clear, is that very little of last weekend's behind-the-scenes maneuvering had anything to do with the problems facing ordinary Greeks, who are merely the victims in this latest bank bailout fiasco. Greece will not escape default, so it's not in its long-term interests to stick with the euro. That just ensures years of high unemployment, severe cuts to public spending, and neverending recession. A return to the drachma would provide an opportunity to restructure debt and regain fiscal equilibrium via devaluation. It would give Greek exports and tourism a boost by making them instantly cheaper. Economist Mark Weisbrot explains the shortcomings of the EU strategy in an op-ed in the New York Times. He says: "The problem is one of irrational economic policy. The Greek government has reached an agreement with the E.U..... and the I.M.F. that will make the current economic problems even worse.... The projections show that if their program "works," Greece's debt will rise from 115 percent of gross domestic product today to 149 percent in 2013. This means that in less than three years, and most likely sooner, Greece will be facing the same crisis that it faces today......The Greek people will go through a lot of suffering, their economy will shrink and their debt burden will grow, and then they will very likely face the same choice of debt rescheduling, restructuring, or default -- and/or leaving the Euro."
