QOTD: "The Greek problem would not be a big problem if people would keep buying Greek bonds at 2% rather than demanding 10% or more. Across the West, budgets are based on paying debt service at near zero rates. If borrowing costs reverted back to historic norms, every nation in the West defaults within five years.

That means all efforts, like we’re seeing with the Euro, are aimed at keeping those borrowing rates low. They have no choice. Even small hikes could make some American states insolvent. Given the way government debt works, a small default can unleash hell on the biggest states, which is why Puerto Rico is a big deal.

The West is trapped in a box of its own making. There are two ways out of it. One is everyone commits suicide and the other is to begin restructuring so that over debts levels begin to decline as borrowing rates slowly return to normal. The latter is politically impossible so that leaves the former." --The Z Man
