I've said this before at various times/places...the United States is too big to fail. If Greece goes down, the global economies are not devestated. If the United States fails, we are taking a lot of other countries with us. They won't allow it to happen.
Not saying you can just go about things as reckless as possible but comparing the United States economy failing and how it impacts the world to Greece failing isn't a fair comparison at all. Really, there is no fair comparison to what it would be like but I believe it would be bad for a couple of years but ultimately, unless the world decides they want to go down with the United States consumerism then it won't be as bad as pepole believe it will be.
