There is the argument that Greece's presence though, has also helped artificially deflate the value of the Euro to help boost exports for the bigger Eurozone economies though making them far more prosperous than they would have been had Countries such as Greece, Portugal, Spain, Ireland and Italy etc no been part of the Euro. That is part of why I have a problem with being so "fuck off and die" towards Greece. |
I wonder if it was worth it in the end, considering what's happening right now.

That is commendable. My Economics education is at a loss as to how to actually do that, but I trust that the EU leadership is qualified to handle this like you described it. Europe is interconneced after all, Eurozone or not, so it is in their best interest to make the Grexit painful as little as possible, for the good of both the Greeks and themselves.
If the Grexit were to happen of course, now it looks like maybe Greece'll stay after all...
