Greece is at boiling point - with police firing tear gas at crowds of angry protesters. Thousands of demonstrators are trying to block access to the Parliament building, where the government is discussing MORE cutbacks to secure further rescue loans. The deal on the table suggests suffocating austerity measures, such as more taxes and a four-year privatisation programme. If Greeks fail to tighten their belts, they face being cut off from vital European aid worth hundreds of billions of euros.

Does anyone understand that the poor are expected to absorb the capital failures there?

It is and can happen in the USA as well..

Best part is, Austerity wont even achieve what all these people are being told that it will.

Hint: Austerity is contractionary, not expansionary.

Actually its more like what will happen if the Ryan plan goes through and SS, Medicare and Medicaid get gutted while the rich get more tax breaks.

Damn right it will happen if things go the way the far Right wants them to. The idea of me not getting SS after paying in to it for close to 30 fucking years makes my blood boil and I would be out on the streets w/ the masses if that were to happen.

In any other situation if someone stole what Id been saving for 30 years they Marine in me would come out quickly.

"You and I are told we must choose between a left or right, but I suggest there is no such thing as a left or right. There is only an up or down. Up to man's age-old dream -- the maximum of individual freedom consistent with order -- or down to the ant heap of totalitarianism. Regardless of their sincerity, their humanitarian motives, those who would sacrifice freedom for security have embarked on this downward path. Plutarch warned, "The real destroyer of the liberties of the people is he who spreads among them bounties, donations and benefits."
- Ronald Reagan, October 27, 1964

Why isn't your blood boiling over it already? I know your older but you aren't likely to see all of it. People of my generation are not going to see any of it.
