Honestly, though, seeing as how there's really no chance of getting this money back, and even less of a chance that the PIGS can pull off anything even resembling fiscal responsibility, isn't this bail out just delaying the inevitable and inflating the bubble even more so that the eventual collapse of these PIGieS will be all the more catastrophic, and drag everyone down with them?
Not that I have a problem with that happening - I'd finally get a chance to really use my guns - but calling this bailout a solution is kind of inaccurate. It's a delaying tactic, at best, and will make things all that much worse when the inevitable collapse does come.
