Time for another invasion?

This might just end the Euro.

Maybe.

Good, I like Canadian Dollars and Gold Maple Leafs over the EU funny money and our err IOU notes in the US.

Seriously, what's the point of keeping Greece in the EU? What is Greece adding to the equation? As far as I can see they're a liability, so why not cut them loose?

[BartSimpson]

If Greece wants out then let them go. Of course, the reason that's a threat to the EU is because the UK will be right behind Greece heading for the exits.

I don't think the UK leaving the EU has much to do with Greece, one way or the other. But Italy, Ireland, Spain, Portugal, that's a different matter.

It's much more politics than economics these days.

If it was economics, Greece would have been booted years ago.

You're right, it's politics, but economics is the only thing keeping Greece in. Why would the French and Germans make their wares less competitive in Greece?

[stratos]

If Greece and the UK leave the EU would that start a mass exodus by other nations?

Only those nations that no longer want to sell their wares free from tariffs.

If it's only about Greece, why would Germany pour so much money into it? Do they really get that much profit out of Greece selling their wares that is makes propping them up worth it? I think it's more about not starting a general EU exit.
