It don't work because they cut the wrong areas. They hapilly cut stuff like education and other vital services in Greece which help the economy in the long run. But do these politicians cut there own wages? NO! Do they close tax loopholes or pursue tax avoiders? of course not! Anything that don't affects them is cut first because they don't care about the morons who elect them constantly. All the while, pushing there own failings onto immigrants and fuelling extremist nationalism. Ain't that clever and sly of the Greek politicians? Of course, Greece won't be fixed over night but they need to realise there current policies aren't working at all. Otherwise, they likely would of been on the mend by now. This really is like the 30's all over again. 


You can be upset with what they cut.  I think they've left a lot of stuff uncut that should be myself.  Like their military buildup for their coldwar against turkey over cyprus that will likely never evolve into anything.

However,  without austerity, they would of defaulted on their debts harder, been forcibly kicked out of the europeon Union, defaulted on their debt, and been forced to return to the Dracmha.  Which would of been devalued to Zimbabwe/Post World War 1 german levels.

Leaving Greece in the position of REAL third world countries, like Somalia. 

Unable to import things like even simple medicine...

You think 30% unemployment is bad... we're talking >50%  Unemployment.

It would probably be better for them if they left the EU. I'm sure the Germans must be fed with bailing them out all the time, even if it gives them power over Greece. They need to at least get off the euro so they can control currency issues again.
