Good for them

Defect spending is a wealth transfer from the people to the banking elites.

[Sisyphus]

Whingeing commies pissed off that it's now time to pay the piper.

I expect to see the same in the UK before long but with more spelling mistakes on the banner.

i was watching a report by one of the news outlets about the greek non jobs. one of the main government buildings had 46 gardeners on the payroll......... and no garden. the guy rattled off a long list of situations like this, so it was a question of when, not if this was going to happen.

[fido]

Wasteful spending is a wealth transfer from the taxpayers and savers to 5-a-day-outreach coordinators, feckless and bone-idle.

So they want help but dont want to take the cuts in pay, etc...

:ROFL:

shouldnt they just be glad of help and take this time to sort out their own country rather than cost it more with strikes, after all it was the slack government that got them into the situation and it aint going to magically just go away...

You may laugh, but when the cuts are finally made (I suspect by the IMF) there will be hell up. It's going to be interesting for sure. I'm anticipating a proper miners style kick off

What actually happens when the Greeks can't/won't pay the money back?

Absolutely.

The rioting.

We haven't had the rioting yet and no recession is complete without it.


All I can say is that when it all happens and the inevitable hardships turn up is that I KNOW WHO TO BLAME.

But whats going to happen?

Government need to reduce jobs and pay... Public sector say no and strike cause the gravy train is over... What does it prove???

The money needs to be reduced and its going to be tough, the private sector have gone through it, but the public sector can go and say no to job/pay cuts???

These stinking NuLabia types have spent the last 13 years turning the people of this country against each other using the politics of envy, creating & encouraging resentment of the public sector, of immigration & immigrants, bankers you name it.
Some people are in for a far tougher time than they realise but I just hope that the electorate has a longer memory this time around & those aholes are forever relegated to the history books.

The Greeks are O.K. aren't they? Aren't they the ones with all the dancing and plate smashing?

I used to teach and have read a fair few NUT booklets and spoken to a couple of Unison Members. They are pretty much ready to willy wave/go on strike/have a communist revolution at the drop of a hat.

I have a feeling that what's around the corner is utterly beyond their level of kick off.

What is more exciting is the surpluses of staff we have kicking around. It's not (apart from the technicality of employment law) that we can't just have a bonfire of lazy striking staff and put in a load of polish, etc.

If CMD doesn't get in:-

• The Soc-Dem Coalition will not have what it takes to kick the public sector in the fanny.

If CMD does get in:-

• If he doesn't talk to the IMF first, he will also not have the balls to make the cuts required and the IMF will come in and I reckon it will come down to the nations commie workshop associations to kick up a stink.

• If he does go to the IMF first for advice and then make the cuts, the Union's fury will be directed to Posh Dave and his capitalist posho pigs.

Red flags will be flying and the streets will flow with blood.

Budget surpluses will pay for agency staff for a while, and then there will be hell up.

Just like the forthcoming crippling interest rate rises are being ignored by everyone, so are the cuts. It's all fine, business as usual, getting on with the job, facilitating the recovery......

To quote Soovy, I'm also going short on everything. It's all monumentally shagged.

The electorate are stupid, all they will see is the next party coming into power making cuts to the public sector non-jobs and benefits system. In general, people do not look at causes or reasons, they look only at the amount of money in their pocket and blame whoever has made the cut.

In a way, it'd be nice to see Labour win so they have to clean up their own st and suffer rather than another party having to do the dirty work.

It'll be the last time they ever rely on Govt borrowing.

Before we get too bogged down with detail. Is this not the problem with all the PIIGS? Is this not just domino numero uno?
