By the looks of it, a bank run in Greece is starting (according to BBC 0.75% of deposits have been withdrawn just over two days, Monday and Tuesday this week). So, looks like the issue may be mute [moot] long before the new election.

Sorry, but this error drives me nuts. I guess it's because I'm a lawyer. Smiley

No, that is not what I propose at all. Under my proposal the ECB's objective would be to balance the risks of controlling inflation and avoiding breakup, which is the natural result of recognizing both as serious risks. But if member states took decisions that would imply behavior of the ECB that would result in high inflation, those member states would not receive support and might be kicked out.

It is always good to try balance the risks with the objectives and so forth, the problem here is just what is the proper balance. I get this feeling that nobody really knows with much more then a hope and a prayer confidence level. This nut is just a new one to come down the macro-economic pike in this ever more intertwined and leveraged financial world, where the line between banks and government becomes ever more blurred, and any kind of attempt at serious structural reform, causes a societal nervous breakdown, so the waters are uncharted, and the compass lost at sea, and the sky cloudy blocking out even the moon as a point of reference, much less Venus or the North Star, so one waits until one hits a rock to better locate one's position, as the seas flood into the lower decks.

...any kind of attempt at serious structural reform

I would like to present for debate the old idea that reform requires a lubricant... c*****s a*****s of h***n b***d.  We can't expect power structures to change unless those that created them and benefit from them are s*********d.

You have a point opebo. Perhaps the best way for you to avoid death points is to have posting content along the following lines:  "****  ********* *** *** ***.  *** ****** ** ***."
