    The deal satisfies some. This guy writing in Forbes says the deal is farcical. How can you improve the debt to GDP ratio when what you are doing is going to kill the GDP. Besides, all that's really happening is that the creditors are basically just cutting a loan to themselves just to make things look solvent.

    Either way it may all be moot as Greece may be scheduled to default in late March anyway. After working things to make their own accounts look OK they may just go ahead and pull the plug - think of it as international foreclosure.

    The Greeks do a superb job of killing their own GDP

    Probably true. The Greeks pour into the streets and bust things up. The Americans will just fold and take it.
