Hello all,
I'm sure most of you must've already heard about matters in Greece right now, it's very bad... In just a couple of months, VAT has 4% up, gas 10% up, wages are being cut left and right, even the lowest wage dropped to 500 fuc**** Euros! To make things worse, many are taking advantage of the situation, further increasing prices, laying off stuff, the consumers are being very reluctant to spend on anything...
The people in Athens and Thessaloniki are rioting, and with a God damn good reason! Most people in Greece are kind and hard working. For the last 100 years, we've been governed by the same completely useless politicians. It's due to their incompetence that we have to keep up with all this! We've been recieving tremendous help from the EU to no avail at all! Corruption is everywhere! From the last mayor, to the prime minister himself!
Also, we've been leaking money left and right for many years, and noone lifted a damn finger! We are 10 million people, and we have 8x public service employees more than UK!!! Many public works like roads, factories, bridges, etc take millions of millions from the government and never get actually made, or cost significantly less.
On the other hand, hard working people are trying to cope up with increasing costs everywhere, while watching their petty wages shrink. Papandreou (our prime minister) says there was no other way out of this mess, but is really true? I'm not expert on either politics or economics, please help me out:
Turkey had similar issues before, and managed to come out of it by reducing VAT, offering motives for companies to invest, etc. Why couldn't we have done the same? Also, we've been running deficits for ages now, why things are so bad now, all of a sudden? And, if anyone knows, WTH are these SPREADS I keep hearing about?
I am really sad, and I really see things getting even worse in the future. I wish all you people are with us Greeks
