Reply #10: Then let it break.

[Daemonaquila]

Bankers, financiers, large corporations, and most economists keep missing the point: all systems crumble or morph into something unrecognizable, eventually. Of course the Eurozone may break up - since it began, the only options were breakup (via failure or selective dismantling) or change into a single regional government. The only question was when. The Euro system was set up to avoid catastrophic breakup, but such systems fail. As usual, if one looks deep enough into the reasons for that failure, there are going to be key decisions by and for the good of banks and multinational corporations.

The outcry regarding breakup has less to do with potential unemployment or depression, than losses by the banks that have been gambling (as usual).

If a system is failing, let it fail. The longer we try to prop up a failing system because it's "too big to fail," the bigger and more prone to failure, and with greater catastrophic outcome, it becomes. If we had let certain failures happen in the U.S., we would have been better off, and could have avoided the unstoppable collapse we're currently reeling under. The Eurozone is, unfortunately, in the same boat. The same fixes will be tried, and they will fail just the same way, and we will still have worldwide depression. The only difference that massive intervention will make, is that some of the banks will come out golden.
