There is a lesson to be learned from Greece. Like us, they hired too many state workers. Like us they overpaid them. Like us they gave them unsustainable benefits including in some cases 55 year retirement with FULL life-time benefits.
When Greece couldn’t sustain this giveaway, their financial house of cards collapsed but the workers could care less. They have been overpaid and using taxpayers money for years. But now, it has dried up. There is no money. Do they care? No. They are selfish and they are stupid.
They seem to think by rioting, more money will be generated. Then they can continue on their own gravy train even if the other taxpayers are forced into tax-bankruptcy.
What these morons don’t seem to understand is that there is no money. The money they have been stealing for years has run out. An adjustment is needed.
That’s the trouble with getting people used to more than they are worth. When you eventually have to cut them back, they can’t handle it.
I wouldn’t want to be running any government that had to correct this type situation. It is not likely to be peaceful.
Our unions at GM are like this. Do anything to anyone but not to us. After all, “we earn our money!”. THEY bankrupted GM but don’t blame them! Let the taxpayer bail them out just as long as they continue to get what they have been getting or close to it.
lol
I have a friend who is a steel rod-setter. He and his wife have a $500,000.00 home in the suburbs. He will tell you “We earned every bit of that money”.
In what society is a rod setter worth that kind of money? If he is worth that, what must a doctor be worth? Or an engineer? BUT, doctors and engineers aren’t unionized.
And what does this do to a nation’s economy? Well, it can destroy it if labor’s demands are excessive. Or it can drive employers to seek cheaper labor if they are.
In America they were so –
How about if all those Greek government workers were replaced with cheaper labor? The country would recover quickly. The government workers wouldn’t.
Unions are composed of a lot of politically and economically uninformed people; hence, it’s hard to tell that them the truth about anything. They won’t hear it. Instead they riot.
Better them than us.
But our day might be coming if we don’t straighten out our act soon.
