Greece: Unions Reject New Austerity Measures
April 29, 2010
Greek union officials said the European Union, European Central Bank and International Monetary Fund want new severe measures, which include a raise on the value added tax, a three-year public pay freeze and the removal of salary bonuses, to yield more than 20 billion euros over the next two years, DPA reported April 29. Union officials, including those from public sector union ADEDY, called the deal a disaster. The officials also said they would increase resistance to the measures and the government with a port strike planned May 1 and a general strike May 5.

Have you ever seen such cluelessness. These people don't understand, they have driven over the cliff, the crash is inevitable. They are bankrupt, on their knees begging for someone to rescue them from sheer destitution - asking for charity, in effect - and they are still blazing away with arrogance and self-righteous entitlement. They are asking for German charity while spitting in German faces. Astonishing. Now more than ever, let 'em fail, I say.
