Greece is just getting all the spotlight lately… Check out this article from the Wall Street Journal.
The Greece government has all but decided to take the EU offer of loan money, but it comes at a hefty price. They must cut spending and raise taxes. The Greek people aren’t too happy about this, since their precious handouts and crazy benefits will be cut. So what do they do? They take to the streets with mass rioting, breaking windows, firebombing and having a country wide union strike. Three innocent bank workers have died as a result. They were in the wrong place at the wrong time and from what I’ve read it sounds like they got trapped in a burning building.
I can understand the Greek people being upset about this legislation, but they’ve been milking the socialist agenda for too long and now it has caught up to them. They either take this offer, or default on their loans, which would cause a lot more problems. However, the way they are acting is beyond childish. They need to grow up and realize that they are just reaping what they sow, and they need to get off their butts and get back to work. Maybe try being entrepreneurial and actually help expand your economy… Instead of letting it stagnate like it is.
