(5,735 posts)17.68% of the outstanding IMF dollars were funded by the U.S. Based on that, the U.S. taxpayer portion of Greece's IMF debt would be 5.66 Billion Euros.

Of Greece's total debt (again, from March) of 323 Billion Euros, a whopping 246 Billion Euros came from the coffers of other nations. Less than 10% is owed to banks. I know if I was a taxpayer in the rest of Europe I'd be telling my politicians enough...write off the debt and let Greece go their own way. But, of course, if you did that you'd have all the other PIIGS nations expecting the same deal. I would not give Greece anymore money.
