There aren't many. The debt is still there and Greece's economy has gotten worse this year. The country's banks are almost out of money.
Because Greece is on the euro -- a currency used by 19 countries -- it doesn't set the value of its money. So it can't turn to an age-old response by countries with too much debt: devaluation. Devaluation means using the levers of finance to make money worth less. When money is devalued, the cost of debt goes down.
Bankruptcy is also not an option for Greece. Companies deep in the red can ask a judge to help them get lenders to accept less than they are owed. There is no bankruptcy court for countries.
The other way a country can get rid of debt is if the economy grows. But Greece owes so much compared to the size of its economy, it would take a miracle for that to work anytime soon.
What's next?
Nothing good. Sunday's vote asks Greeks to accept, or reject, yet another bailout with less-severe austerity conditions attached to it.
Tsipras, who called for the referendum, wants people to vote "No." He thinks that would give him more leverage with Greece's bailout lenders. Leaders of Tsipras' political opposition disagree and argue that an "Oxi" vote will only tell the rest of Europe that Greece doesn't want to be part of the eurozone anymore. The vote could lead to a change in government.
At this point, exiting the eurozone and going back to Greece's old currency, the drachma, would be very disruptive. The value of the money people have in their pockets (and banks) would decline. Prices would go way up. Life could get even worse.
Meanwhile, there's still the debt and no money to pay for it. And the ravaged economy.
