For general discussion and debate. Possible talking point: last week's riots in Greece and resulting market turmoil.

As the situation in Greece turned ugly last week, so did stocks. Is this the beginning of a major sell-off in the market, or a much-needed correction?

Maybe more importantly, is what's going on in Greece an ominous foreshadowing of things to come in America as governments around our country grapple with rising deficits, rising pension and entitlement program obligations, and declining tax receipts?
