Greece bailout: Coalition fail to agree cuts
Comments

Greece has said that they don't want to leave the euro, maybe it is seen as an easy ride. So if they are in no danger in being thrown out then they can carry on with this charade for ever, it will certainly be preferable to cutting living standards to the bone.0

Perhaps some of you, could help them out and buy this bit of land next door to lord rothschild? http://www.hradf.com/en/real-estate/Kassiopi-Corfu0

what is happening in Greece is a good lesson for all those that think the lefty is correct. This is what happens at the end of the lefty spending when there is nothing left.
and look at the lefty in Greece. they have nothing. they are billions in debt and cannot even afford to pay their public sector for 1 month. so you think the lefty might say "oh no, perhaps we took the free money for granted. perhaps you do have to create money from somewhere". oh no. hahahahahahahaa
the lefty is rioting in the street. demanding no cuts, demanding more and more and more.
they are clinically demented people and as i have always said, the number one biggest threat to the west that has ever lived. the left are just a daft cancer, and we are riddled with it.

The cuts are now agreed again.
However, the protests have risen in intensity. Social unrest is growing.
Unemployment is already at 20% in Greece, but the EU ministers want more. Some of the Greek cabinet are now resigning, stating this isn't about cuts, it's about humiliation. But it's ok, the EU will probably send another few puppets in to replace them. Apparently ministers have to resign if they don't agree. I.e. it's agree or leave.
I noticed one of the cuts is to lower the minimum wage by 20%. It's all relative I guess, but just imagine what that would do in this country.
One teacher even states their school simply can't have any books. It's all been cut to the bone.
Seems to me we could be witnessing the start of war?0 -

I've edited. The 48% was the 15-24 year old unemployment.0 -

I'm still wondering what's going to happen about the planned April elections. If they are allowed to go ahead, I can't see these EU puppets being voted back into leadership, so what happens then if the balance of power changes?[FONT="]“I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.” ~ Maya Angelou[/FONT][FONT="][/FONT]0 -

Does it matter? If there is no money and nobody will lend to you, there are very few options anyway.0 -

There is money though (wel debt), and that appears to be the problem at the moment.
Money for reform as it were. But that reform is going to cripple Greece and the Greek peopl. The only reason for doing this is so the Euro can continue.
The majority now seem to agree that Greece just defaulting would have been best for Greece.0
