What about Iceland?
Perhaps Greece should follow Iceland's example....jail the bankers!!
After all, why should the people that got these countries into trouble in the first place get a free ride? Shouldn't they be held accountable for their actions? We need to follow the money on this kind of garbage. Someone, somewhere is getting rich off of all of these shenanigans while the common folks are losing their shirts.

Strange how you don't hear a nit about how Iceland handled it's foreign imposed debt, economic collapse and is bailing itself out.....after going after the Politicians and Bankers that caused the problem in the first place. IMAGINE THAT!?!?!? Bankers and Politicians being hunted down, prosecuted and then sent to jail. Now that sounds like a plan to me!Iceland's economy recovered after it imprisoned bankers and let banks go bust - instead of bailing them out.
The country has imposed the tax to prevent it hemorrhaging money as it loosens bank laws imposed six years ago, when Iceland made the shocking decision to let its banks go bust.
Iceland also allowed bankers to be prosecuted as criminals – in contrast to the US and Europe, where banks were fined, but chief executives escaped punishment.
The chief executive, chairman, Luxembourg ceo and second largest shareholder of Kaupthing, an Icelandic bank that collapsed, were sentenced in February to between four and five years in prison for market manipulation.
