Greece was never going to reform, its a cultural thing. They have never paid their fair share of tax & the black market economy has been suggested is bigger than the real economy. Plenty of countries have reneged on debt & within a relatively short time, recovered. What other option do they have? Be in chains for generations? That's what caused WWII & Germany by the way was forgiven their debts post WWII by Greece!
