the european press is calling this the continent's lehman brothers moment. government officials are worried that if greece fails to pay its debts, it could have a blow back here in the united states. and we felt those deep economic painful effects afterwards in ways that we didn't expect because the world economy is now so interconnected. financial experts here aren't convinced that will happen but they don't want to find out. what's happening right now is that the greek government is working desperately to try to pass a budget with deep budget cuts. but those cuts are so painful, that has led to rioting in the streets. they are in a race for time to pass those budget cuts in order to qualify for a loan from the imf. they need billions from the imf just to pay their bills through the summer. but why are they rioting in the streets here? because that government's new federal budget means deep, deep layoffs. more than 100,000 people could lose their jobs in the government. those that are left with jobs are going to lose 30% of their salaries and they're going

said that if the greek problem spreads to other countries it could top lehman brothers in terms of contagion for the world financial system. tell us what you see as the best scenario that investors can expect and the worst. >> the best scenario is that we get a greek population that is willing to sacrifice for a number of years. official creditors willing to put in money and private creditors willing to roll over, the op rat difficult approach. low probability but if that happens it will quiet down greece. the worst probability is we get a situation where not only greece defaults but suddenly portugal are pushed to the edge and people will ask questions about italy and spain. i think right now we're looking at a situation where most likely greece will restructure. that most likely the other two countries are going to come under pressure but the crisis can be contained from going to spain and italy. and spain and italy are important because they're very large in relative degrees. >> susie: let's move from greece to the united states. you heard our report about the white house holding those ta
