According to the New York Times, even after Greece sells 49 percent of the state railroad, lists its ports and airports on the stock market, privatizes the country’s casinos, sells minority stakes in water utilities serving Athens and Thessaloniki, sells 39 percent of the post office, and combines its vast real-estate assets into a holding company to be listed on the stock market—the government still won’t come close to balancing its budget.

If things don’t dramatically improve soon, expect another garage sale to shortly follow, and then what little is left of the family silverware will be gone.

Imagine: Selling everything and still not being able to pay the bills.
