"if Grexit happens it will be because the creditors, or at least the IMF, wanted it to happen."

- evanpw 11y agoMy disagreement with the second-to-top-level comment is that they consider "default would be bad" to be unjustified FUD. Krugman is on my side: "force Greece into a presumably disastrous default". He's just faulting the other side (the Troika) for being so aggressive in negotiating that default seems like the least-bad option.
