Thousands are protesting and violence erupts daily in Athens over austerity measures taken by the government in Greece. What are they and why do they hurt so bad? Is a large percentage of the population government employees and they are getting laid off or wages cut? Was a government sponsored healthcare cut for everyone? No more mail on Saturdays?
I think it would be beneficial for the rest of the world looking on to the situation to have someone spell it out in plain english how they are hurting, what are they rioting over, what do the daily finances of the average Greek look like then and now? I haven't seen this. All I see on the news is riots on the so called austerity measures.
