No, to se sicer ne bo zgodilo, ker je bila Grčija prej prisiljena v kapitulacijo pred trojko, pa tudi tehnično bi bilo lahko problematično. Toda Američani so znani v svoji neidološkosti in pragmatičnosti, kadar zasledujejo višje cilje. Joseph Stiglitz predlaga, da Fed odpre posebno linijo za Grčijo, pri čemer bi Fed namesto ECB služil kot posojilodajalec v skrajni sili:

The U.S. was generous with Germany as we defeated it. Now, it is time for the U.S. to be generous with our friends in Greece in their time of need, as they have been crushed for the second time in a century by Germany, this time with the support of the troika. At a technical level, the Federal Reserve needs to create a swap line with Greece’s central bank, which—as a result of the default of the ECB in fulfilling its responsibilities—will have to take on once again the role of lender of last resort. Greece needs unconditional humanitarian aid; it needs Americans to buy its products, take vacations there, and show a solidarity with Greece and a humanity that its European partners were not able to display.
