This article states that the best thing for Greece would be to leave the Eurozone and go back to the drachma. So why are the Greek politicians determined to stay the course of beggaring their people and giving away all the assets of country to the creditors? Too often you read that politicians are going to vote against the austerity then at the last minute they get enough votes to pass it. Bought off, blackmailed or threatened is my guess.
