If Greece was kicked out of the EU, would that save the dying Euro?

It would actually kill it. If any country leaves the common currency, the markets will start speculating who's going to be next.

well the ecb could make alot of money if they start a bond purchase programm when the markets are starting speculating...   but there is no reason for greece to leave the euro after a default. there is no rule in the ecb code for that.

There's also another, far more serious reason to prevent Greece from leaving the Euro. What if we do leave the Eurozone, and after a short period (4-5 years) we see tremendous growth (in the 5-10% yearly)? Italy, Portugal, Spain, and other countries could start considering joining us.
