They are in financial trouble because of criminal activity by criminal syndicates such as Goldman Sachs and London/NYC banks and the governments that serve them. All of Europe, including Britain and the US will face these "austerity measures," and soon. The billionaires, I'm guessing, aren't going to face any austerity measures.

There is only one way out of this, and that is a European insurrection of working people. I like to think that the working people of the US would join in, but it might interfere with Monday Night Football.

Hmmm. and I see there were hammers and sickles on the banner. I still guarantee you the average pissed-off Greek is not advocating for a communist takeover.

"Austerity measures for you livestock (working people,) so that we (bankers and our government minions) can have even more riches and power."
