Greece Fire

The Associated Press reported today that labor strikes shut down public transport, schools and state hospitals in Greece.

The report goes on: "But unions say ordinary Greeks are being called to pay a disproportionate price for past fiscal mismanagement. 'They are trying to make workers pay the price for this crisis,' said Yiannis Panagopoulos, leader of Greece's largest union, the GSEE."

Gee, did they think the non-workers were going to pay for it?

Will these scenarios become commonplace across the globe as governments, no longer trusted by their citizenry, face economic demise amidst massive debt and shrinking GDPs?

What about the United States? Will our children be the ones picketing in the years to come? Will they be the ones being called to pay for our government's fiscal mismanagement and its burgeoning debt?
