By vetoing money printing and Eurobonds, Germany essentially is forcing Greece into default sooner rather than later. I expect within a week.

2. They could print 10 times the greek debt and it would still be several orders of magnitude away... |

From the levels printed during the Wiemar days. There is no reasonable reason to assume that high, problematic inflation would result from printing the Greek debts away.

3. Guess who's going to print away the Greek debt? |
|
We are.
Unlimited dollar funding to European banks for the next three months has already been granted.
