I'm not from Greece. I don't know every single fact about the crisis, but I mean I would probably vote "No." Taking more money just seems like digging a deeper grave, one in which they will be forced to climb out of once again down the line. The problem with this is everyone is trying to rush this to reach some short term goal, but that can't happen anymore for Greece. I think it was time they accepted that this is going to a really messy situation for a while, but that doesn't mean it will be that way forever. I read some economists were talking about how a return to the drachma could in fact lead to some benefits for the Greek economy in the long-term.
