That's mild in comparison to what's coming here in America. This country is ARMED.
Ohhh, we're so skeered...a few thousand cowboys up against the United States military?
...Despite the efforts for modernization of the public sector especially after 1996 the major problems weren't solved: tax evasion, financial mismanagement and debt accumulation.
The 'Metapolitefsi' reached its peak in 2004 when Greece organized the glorious but costly Olympic Games in Athens. The world admired the capability of such a small nation to successfully organize such an important event of international importance. But the truth is that Greece had actually swept all the dirt under the carpet. During the last five years, the center-right government of Costas Karamanlis failed to capitalize the positive effects of the Olympiad. On the contrary, the Greek political leadership completely lost its contact with people and their needs, sinking into numerous scandals.
However, we shouldn't exclusively scapegoat the Greek socio-political system for today's failure Europe has its own responsibilities. Contrary to its fellow EU members Greece lies in a historically and diplomatically troubled area. Being a neighbor of traditionally trouble-making governments, such as the ones in Ankara and Skopje, Greece spent billions of drachmas and euros during the 'Metapolitefsi' for military equipment. Although a member of the EU since 1980, Athens never gained any concrete guarantee from the EU regarding the security of its eastern and northern borders the failure for the creation of a common Foreign and Security Policy within Europe forced Greece to buy preposterously expensive weaponry for defense purposes. Its therefore not an exaggeration to say that some of those who today blame "Greek corruption" have contributed to this situation, directly or indirectly.

Anyone want to bet against those guys throwing rocks all 'ninjaed' up are professional protesters assigned to stir up trouble?

Professional protestors? From where? What is their job description? How much to they get paid? Is there a health plan?

I see three things here. One is total crap about the military problems or Greece. Another is the strong similiaries of Greece to America's problems in some regards. Finally, the inability to fix those problems. BTW, why is it the TRAGIC END of Metapolitefsi as the article title states? Sounds like they should have ditched it form day one.

You dont think spending so much money on the military could cause some problems? The EU should have given assistance to help protect the border.
Tax evasion was an acceptable policy. That means no one paid taxes.
"Greek finance ministry is using Google Earth software to track down the owners of (the) pools, which tax inspectors consider an indicator of wealth, and which have often been built illegally."
No one capitalized on the Olympics either.
This is no indicator of what could happen here. To say so is ludicrous.
Your wet dream, isn't it?
And you're worst nightmare, dyke.
I would love to see farmer land cowboys try to take on the army and such

And what makes you think "the Army" is going to side up with liberals when it mainly consist of conservatives?
Moron.
That's right....you think the Army won't follow the Constitution....it will follow you.
That's mild in comparison to what's coming here in America. This country is ARMED.
Ohhh, we're so skeered...a few thousand cowboys up against the United States military?
I'll take "What is the Posse Comitatus Act of 1878" For $1,000 Alex...

Just imagine a 20% cut across the board to all non-essential social services and subsidies in this nation. Most of that can be done by laying off workers. I'm sure the SEIU will turn most big cities into war zones if they can over such a dastardly thing to do. Not to mention the teachers unions, high powered corporate lobbyists and other groups who's gravy train is decreased in size when they're demanding increases.Why is it always the people that are the worst workers are always the best rioters. If the rioters worked as hard as they bitched and complained Greece would have no problems!
they are rioting cause greece raised the retirement age from 53 to 55.. work is not something sugar titty suckers are used to..
The people you have to worry about violence from are on the left. They are the ones calling cops and the military pigs and baby killers. Most tea partiers call them officer, or sir.

Damn you liberals are dumb, all he means is it will get a lot uglier here because citizens will have more than rocks. But i guess that's your wet dream, Obama uses his drones to bomb anyone resisting his authority ...........

You seem to think that it will be right wing riots. It'll be the left - that's whose rioting in Greece.... those who are gonna lose the welfare tit. That's who they're talking about, maggie. You seem to think it would be right wing riots. Right winger know how to do austerity. It is liberals who have a problem with it.
When the Riots come to the USA it will be 50 - 60 large cities all at once just after the US Armed Services are devastated on the Iranian plateau and the economy starts to unravel as oil soars past $300 the barrel. ACORN and their allies have been laying the groundwork for a good while.
