For the past year, I’ve been wondering why has the US media been focusing so much coverage on Greece.  Small country.  Small GNP.  European.  Little industry.  No much economic similarity to US.

It’s not that I don’t care.  I’m just wondering why I should care.  And, why all media are telling all of us why we should care.  Now, I got it!

We are Greece.  The media is preparing the US for what has happened and will happen to the US.  Greece, Ireland, Spain, Portugal, Italy, and US are the dominoes in the economic debt cycle.  All are impossibly in debt.  We are going to one of the dominoes to fall.  The media is giving us an early warning of what to expect in terms of unpaid public pensions, social unrest, and diminished expectations.  Not good?

What do you think?  Am I off base?  What are the alternatives?
