Here’s an idea. Instead of bailing out Greece for the sake of the world, why can’t we just annex it in bankruptcy?

We paid roughly 3 cents for every acre of land obtained in the Louisiana Purchase.

Why not purchase this little resort destination (and, coincidentally, great location for a few choice military installations), for the bargain basement price of $30 dollars an acre? 30 bucks an acre would be rough 1,000 times more than the amount we paid for the Louisiana Purchase. More significantly, it would equal the $1 trillion bailout that is presently being suggested by the EU as the cure-all to this government handout experiment gone horribly, horribly wrong. Sure, for several years Greece may not notice a change–not with the current Congressional delegation and Presidential Administration here in the United States.

But, with annexation, you’ve got to like Greece’s long term outlook more than any prolonged governance by Greece’s current political leadership…which may or may not consist of nothing more than watching reruns of Full House for Uncle Jesse’s advice.
