The reports below are the result of the economic squeeze put on citizens from Greece and Italy. Unemployment there is worse than here and the citizens are having guaranteed benefits cut, loss of unemployment benefits, and increases in already burdensome taxes. The governments are also cutting payrolls.
Does this not sound familiar? Do you really believe that the U.S. Government might not cut off Social Security payments? Do you really believe that the U.S. government won't cut off retired military pensions? Cutting off unemployment benefits for those who truly can't find work? Do you not think our government is capable of raising taxes drastically? If not, why not? The government has shown a drastic willingness to protect the interests of the bureaucracy over those of the people.
The images are dramatic and breathtaking, but you need to see this, because this is reality. Are you seeing this on America's nightly news? Why?
