Greece's eurozone exit could cost $1 trillion - Hindustan Times
Governments around the world are making urgent preparations to cope with the fallout of a possible Greek exit from the single European currency. One estimate put the cost to the eurozone of Greece making a disorderly exit from the currency at $1 trillion, 5% of output. A Greek departure would take Europe into uncharted legal waters. The size of the burden other euro zone states could bear gives them a powerful incentive to keep Greece in the currency club.

Verbatim

Nothing epitomises Congress's oligarchic culture, hinging on a power cabal that centres in a ‘High Command', than disgraced former Union Minister  for Law and Justice Ashwani Kumar's parting statement in his own defence while demitting office. “Whatever the PM and the party High Command thought fit, as a loyal foot soldier, I have done, and I am proud of the fact that I have been a loyal foot soldier of the party”. There is no word about his loyalty to the nation, which, for patriotic Indians, should have precedence over party, Prime Minister and high command. But not in the Congress's scheme of things, which, in the final reckoning, is a matter of perpetuating the Nehru-Gandhi family's hegemony.
