Greece Debt Free!
Greece Debt Free is nonprofit, non-political and non-governmental organization that uses donations to buy Greek government bonds in international markets at prices much lower than the amount owed by the Greek government. Greece Debt Free aims to reduce the debt, helping to wipe clean the nation's slate.
As GDF's website states:
GDF is fully transparent and operates under the laws of the State of Delaware. It is subject to U.S. Charitable Foundation laws, which exclude it from political influence. It has no employees, is run by volunteers and concerned patriots, and its operating expenses are negligible.
The Greek national debt affects all of us in different ways. Understanding that Greek national debt is being bought and sold by financial speculators at prices lower that what we owe is important.
The composition of the New Greek Government
Antonis Samaras, the leader of the center-right New Democracy party that won critical parliamentary elections on June 17, was sworn in as prime minister.
Together with Pasok party and the Democratic Left, a small party that won only 16 percent of the vote, Mr. Samaras forms a New Government.
Mr. Samaras had supported the bailout. After the May elections, in which New Democracy and Pasok suffered a drubbing while Syriza made big gains, Mr. Samaras has said he will seek to soften the deal’s terms; but soon, Mr. Samaras will be forced to make massive spending cuts to carry out the country’s “obligations” according to the Memorandum…
Syriza party stated it will fight if the new government does not repudiate the most onerous terms of Greece’s loan deals.
Meanwhile, the departmental finance minister George Zanias will represent Greece at the meeting of Eurogroup on Thursday, and Ecofin on Friday. Mr. Zanias will ask the Finance Ministers of the Euro zone for a time extension of two years to reduce the deficit (until 2016).

Greece Should Leave Euro to Rebuild Economy, says Martin Feldstein
Martin Stuart Feldstein (George F. Baker Professor of Economics at Harvard and also president emeritus of the National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER) ) talked about the prospects of a Greek euro exit in an interview at Bloomberg.
He expressed the opinion that there is no specific formula that the countries can follow in order to solve their economic problems. Each country is different... and in the case of Greece and there is no solution but to exit the euro zone since the country's economy is in terrible situation that can not be fixed...
“Well, I think it would create chaos, it would create problems” says Mr. Feldstein and he adds,
“It would be better for Greece to be able to adopt a new currency, a drachma, allow the currency to fall as currencies did in East Asia and in Latin America; that would give a significant boost to growth in Greece as Greeks shift their spending to domestically produce goods and services.”
