Wouldn't you if you already had your income cut by more than 40-50% already while our useless polititians got raises? You have to understand that most people here in Greece, know that we all had our share in our deficits, but only few bear the burden still, thus the riots. And what would you do if aforementioned polititians did nothing for the best of your country? We have the strongest negotiation "card" in the world ATM. A Greek disorderly default could potentialy destroy the entire global economic system! Wouldn't you haggle more? I'm not saying that we should blackmail the EU, but the measures could have been a bit smoother and fair overall. On top of that, all of Europe tags us as useless, lazy and EU cancer! |
I've been trying to find information about Greece's budget, in terms of outgoing and incomes (like, how much is spent on X and Y, how much is brought in by VAT, etc), just so I can get a better picture of what's actually going on. Unfortunately, Google doesn't seem to be very helpful and just gives me results of how great the deficit is.
Are there any good (recent/accurate) sources that you know of?
