It’s all fake money you are borrowing and the next generation will pay it back with real sweat and hardship.
Default is the only way out, there is no other way.

Europe’s debt crisis has spread into its banks, which are being forced by rating agency downgrades into the arms of the European Central Bank — lender of last resort — as credit markets shut their doors to them.

The ECB is opposed to any burning of senior bondholders for fear it could send the message that governments in other indebted euro zone countries may follow suit. MMmmnn……

Robert Peston (BBC) just said… “The other issue raised by the elongated, episodic and – some would say – belated disclosure of the woes of Ireland’s banks, is what it says about horrors that may lurk elsewhere in the eurozone.
