America's role in this Greek tragedy

Greece faces unacceptable conditions for a new bailout. If it defaults, the US had better be ready for the economic shock

The European authorities are playing a dangerous game of "chicken" with Greece right now. It is overdue for US members of Congress to exercise some oversight as to what our government's role is in this process, and how we might be preparing for a Greek debt default. Depending on how it happens, this default could have serious repercussions for the international financial system, the US economy and, indeed, the world economy.
