Greece's banks are likely to remain closed for another month

Greece's government shuttered banks and placed a €60 (£42.30, $66.40) daily cash withdrawal limit for citizens at the end of June, after announcing plans for a referendum on July 5.
Although capital controls were only meant to restrict citizens' financial movements for a week, Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras dropped a massive hint last night that banks could remain shut for another month.
"The reopening of the banks depends on the sanctioning of the deal, which will take place in a month," said Tsipras in an interview on public Greek television ERT, cited by the Telegraph.
He also added that the government still hopes that the European Central Bank would raise the level of emergency liquidity assistance for the banks after it announced that it would keep the facility frozen at €89 billion (£63 billion, $98 billion) this week.

He says if we don't buckle down and starve more American children, send more retirees to early graves and take away more medical care from poor sick people, the US will have to close their banks too.
He says more, and harsher austerity is the only way out for Greece and the US.
Well, he may not have used those EXACT words but it was clear he thought the US should implement extreme austerity immediately before all the banks have to close. Thanks Senator Porker Corker for the warning.
