I know it's going to have some negative effects on economies of European nations... but I still kinda want Greece to finally fall.

1) They voted in a radical left govenment they know will make negotiations with the EU harder.
2) TThey have the highest social spending in the EU and they still have the audacity to tell us that cutting back on this is unacceptable.
3) Their government keeps demanding more money despite not doing ANYTHING their benefactors wanted, so even if they get the money, thir economy will crash regardless, justa few months/years down the line.

They don't deserve their second chance. They got themselves into this and we need to show everyone in the EU that the "We threw all our money away, now please give us some of yours" approach will not work.

Let them fall.

To be fair, isn't this "as a percentage of GDP"? Which has fallen by over a quarter since the banking crisis.

They didn't "get themselves" into this.. Many in the EU encouraged and pushed for it too. So there is a joint responsibility IMO with that. However they were in the EU regardless of the Euro and I have a problem with the idea of telling anyone "tough tits, you fucked up deal with it" when we're supposedly all in the same club.
