2. I suspect Europe will do whatever it takes to bail Greece out....
From what I gather German industry in particular is doing exceptionally well due to the weaker Euro and the concerns about the smaller financially troubled EU countries. Looks to me like keeping things just as they are benefits Germany so much I can't imagine them not making sure Greece gets just enough money to stumble along.

Is there some new story here are you just throwing that out there?

3. The Germans will bail them out.. the cost of a bailout is far less..
than the ultimate long term effect of a Greece default.

4. The Germans have already stated they won't help.
Frankly, I'm a little surprised that Germany hasn't left the EC yet; they don't get any advantages from it.

6. A majority of Germans want the Deutsche Mark back.
The British were very smart not to give up the pound sterling.

7. Incompetence and corruption.
Tax evasion is rampant in Greece.

8. Barring a last minute miracle, you're correct.
We'll have to see if the IMF gets their tax system under control so that people, especially the richer people, actually start to pay their damn taxes.

Right now, Greece is a teabagger's dream, tax laws on the books with absolutely no enforcement.
