Austerity measures have they ever saved an economy?

Thing about greece is that they have a huge spending problem.A school with 10 students has 40 teachers, so that they all have something to do they teach poorly so students haveto catch up on their learning so that the other teachers have something to do, by teaching them in the afternoon. Douring their spare time most of the teachers also drive a cab. This is just one example of over employment in government jobs.Then you have the security of a government job, you cant loose your job no matter how hard you try.And a whole tone of shit like this. Basicly Greece is a deep black hole that sucks up money.The added problem is that no one wants reforms because they like it the way it is.

Yea on average but the school in Agios Efstratios has 10 students and 40 teachers.and tones of other stuff wrong with the countryhttp://voices.washingtonpost.com/...bailout_concessions.htmlEdited by frako, : No reason given.
