Shit is going down in Greece, as in right now

anti austerity banners placed by activists of the greece communists party

 

Amid clashes, Greek Parliament approves austerity measures - CNN.com

they passed the austerity measures..would be crazy if greek leftist movements actually rebelled

 

Public austerity in times of massive debt.

Nope, it never works.

 

They make the Occupy movement look like a bunch of panzy-submissive bitches.

 

they must keep up the wasteful spending until they go bankrupt.

 

Someone needs to call in some pinkertons on these psuedo-bolsheviks

 

Wasteful, not necessarily. Irresponsible? Definitely. After decades of neglect towards its citizens during the rule of Greece's far right military junta, the new leftists who championed the revolution hoped to achieve popularity from the dissatisfied population by hiking up social spending. It worked, citing prosperous economic growth, but when the late 2000's financial crises hit, there was no stopping the collapse of such a historical fragile economy.

The proper way to solve such incident would be focusing on employment, not austerity, as with a prosperous and productive economy, paying off debt seems much easier. "wise" greek technocrats thought otherwise and now there's a revolution in the streets. good for them

 

Damn hell yeah these rioters go hard, this dude threw a firebomb right next to 3 riot cops..was suprised the cop was still standing

 

The Greek people are pretty misguided. Same as OWS. If they don't accept the cuts they will be forced to leave the Eurozone, which will then cause even greater austerity measures, except ones that are forced and inescapable.

 

But anyways back to our real news in America..
"Poor Whitney Houston..!" "How did Whitney Die?

one of the greatest places on the planet going through shit.


wait till that shit comes to america.

It's a wrap.....

 

Postcard from Athens.

 

It's already in America just to a lesser extent. Eventually the central banks will be unable to spend their way out of debt and that's when shit will really hit the fan.

 

But where's there hyperinflation? It's been 4 years since the massive monetary expansion. Nearly 3 rounds of quantitative easing and the USD goes up against the euro, meanwhile China is devaluing their yuan on purpose. It seems every time there is an economic recession the "printing money" doomsdayers come out of their closet and preach until the recession is over, and then they go back inside only to appear a decade or so later.
