Everyone is drawing parallels between the economies of these two countries... Some already blame the US president for directions we are heading because it is not working in Greece... Is it a fair comparison?

Greece has a smaller economy than the US, that is pretty much the only difference. Well, also, their economy is mostly based on tourism. Ours is a little more diverse. It is a fair observation to make that Greece is in trouble because its government's deficits grew out of control, and that is the same problem we're facing. Every empire in history that does this winds up like Greece; no exceptions. Those that do not learn history are doomed to repeat it.
