Correct, they had to close the banks and it has been really bad in Greece, ridiculously over priced.

I heard something along the lines of what you've mentioned here, but wasn't sure at the time.

Personally, I cannot fathom how the economy got to that point. Surely, after "early" Indications of economic failure, the government could've formulated strategies to prevent It's downfall. I realize It's easier said than done, but I'm a firm believer that preventative measures can always be Implemented (to some degree) In any situation.
