Here’s an EXCELLENT article about what socialism has done to Greece. It’s amazing how familiar this story sounds and how many of the things said in this article have also been said here in the USA.
Some young Greeks prefer to blame their elders for the mountain of debt that has resulted in Greece, like a wayward child, being placed under the tutelage of the men from the IMF.“I cannot help but blame my parents a little for what’s happened,” said Achilles Zacharoulis, a 36-year-old cardiologist. “They were here all that time,” he added, referring to the past three decades of mismanagement and fiscal insanity. “But what did they do to stop it?”
How many times have we heard here in the USA that we’re passing this debt onto our children?
Even greater social unrest is expected as resentment simmers among poorer families at being told to tighten their belts when wealthy Greeks can protect their fortunes by moving their money abroad
Exactly what the socialists are setting us up for here, following the Cloward and Piven strategy!
“We will live much worse than our parents,” he said. “Why should we be made to pay for their mistakes?”
Because the current generation has been lulled by socialist promises of freebies for everyone! Sounds familiar!
And my favorite quote:
Economists regard the bloated civil service with its jobs for life and generous pensions as a cancer consuming the country’s resources. The older generation, the experts grimly concur, turned the state into a giant cash machine to be plundered at will.
EXACTLY! Free handouts to bloated government workers and lazy deadbeats have destroyed Greece and are destroying the USA!
