They make only the secondI

well i think we have problems with short and long term, i mean 1-5 years with short and 20+  with long term.

and your descriptions doesnt sound like anything will change.     and what investment should go on a mass exodus? the millionairs money in switzerland? or the last paycheck of the rest of the greeks?

Greece is f***ed if they default... probably 15years+ of being more poor than they are now.
But it might be the best option if you think 50years ahead.

Its just gonna suck to be a young greek in these times....

Since when is democrazy more cowardness from a goverment?

1-5 years? no you will be looking at 10+ years for the short term and it will be horrible. Greece will sink back into recession compounding the existing problems as government income will rapidly shrink while unemployment and pension costs will continue to rise, the small pre interest surplus currently on the books will turn into a multi billion dollar deficit with no one willing to loan them the money. Inflation will accelerate and a lot of businesses will go broke, add another 10%+ to current unemployment, The pain you see in Greece now is nothing compared to what is likely on the horizon. The sad thing is the members of the greek government are mostly rich and won't be the ones that feel the true pain of the mess created. 

more poor than now is hardly possible for the majority of greeks...

and the young greeks have a chance now, they just have to use it and change the state.

I thin they should follow the wise words of Victoria Nuland and just say : F..CK THE EU.

My heart goes out to the Greek people.

They're being made to pay for the mistakes of their past political class, and of the self-centered, short-sighted European politicians who signed economies up to the single currency long before they were ready. Instead of admitting that the last seven years have revealed serious faults with the fundamental organisation of the Eurozone--in which wildly different economies subscribe to the same currency under the same systems--they are punishing generations of Greek citizens for the mistakes of the past European and Greek political classes.

The European Union is meant to stand for prosperity, democracy and social stability, yet its actions, along with that of the IMF, contradict its basic aims. By blackmailing successive Greek governments into submission (see George Papandreou's government which collapsed in 2011) and subscribing to austerity measures that are basically anti-growth and lopsided in favour of banks (particularly French and German banks), the EU are acting against people and in favour of profit. They are attempting to protect the financial sector which caused the global collapse while trying to preserve the fragile monetary union that was badly thought out and poorly implemented.

If Greece goes, the next question isn't a case of if another crack appears in the Eurozone, it's a question of when, and that's what the EU are terrified of. So terrified they're willing to doom millions of Greek/European citizens to years or decades of lost growth, lost opportunity, and social instability. I'm a pro-European Brit, but seeing the high-handed, anti-democratic and single-minded decision making at the heart of the EU's approach to the Greek crisis has made me re-consider whether I'd vote to stay in the EU.

As for the Greek people being given a referendum on this matter, it's the right thing to do, even if it is politically convenient for the Greek government. Ultimately they were elected on a mandate that rejected further austerity measures, and are now being asked to implement more austerity by the IMF and EU. The implementation of austerity contradicts the basis on which the Greek government was elected; they simply don't have a popular mandate to make that decision so it's right to turn things over to the electorate and ask for the populace to confirm the anti-austerity mandate of the current government, or to accept the austerity measures demanded by Greece's creditors.

Ultimately I just wish the best for and to the Greek people. Despite the lack of sympathy across much of the media, not every European citizen feels that way, and I think many more of us will seriously question the European Union if it continues to fail the Greek people.

Maybe the EU should take over and run the government for a few years. Let them figure this out.

I'm not greek, but the topic is interesting, so i'll participate :D

The problem greek has is that it can't controll it's currency. Europe as a whole has the same currency, and that is a problem to some countrys, because they aren't able to depreciate their currency. But this is a important tool! So maybe it is the best way to leave the Eurozone, go back to Drachmen and have this tool back to work.
