This video by Peter Schiff gives a pretty good explanation of the parallels between Greece’s current dilemma and the disaster that will eventually overtake Americans.
Unfortunately, neither Schiff nor anyone else in the financial spotlight is talking about the only real solution, which is to end the debt imperative and the growth imperative by taking usury/interest out of the money system. It needs to be recognized that the entire system of global money, banking, and finance is bankrupt and cannot be sustained. I wrote about that more than twenty years ago in my first book, Money and Debt: A Solution to the Global Crisis which can be downloaded for free.
