The Greek Bailout: A Question For You

How can a nation unable to pay its debts be any better off by having more debt piled on it?

Sure, with an influx of fresh cash, it can for a time pay its bills but ultimately it has to go out for more fresh cash to keep paying its bills. Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't this a Ponzi Scheme? And as with all Ponzi Schemes, what happens when the amount of money needed to be raised grows so large, that it becomes impossible to raise it? Just a few thoughts dear reader.
