Greece Now The UK

Yesterday and today Greece is experiencing a forty eight hour general labor strike. Today the UK is experiencing the same thing.

This is what happens in moderately socialist societies. They create a culture of leeches who believe the gravy train will never run out. It does, governments overspend and it destroys economies. These people are protesting pension reform. The government has no more money.

As you can read in the article more than just a few aren't heeding the strike. That means they get it, they understand that there has to be reform to public service workers in those countries. It isn't an endless all you can eat buffet on the public dime, it goes into debt and runs out.

This is the problem we are now dealing with in our own country, the problem they dealt with in Wisconsin and the problem they are dealing with in New Jersey. Public sector workers and unions are breaking the budgets, here's the simple breakdown: liberal politicians need votes, unions provide those votes but expect compensation when their horse is elected that they bet on. That compensation is generally in the form of better contracts which means higher pay. It's an endless cycle every two to four years.

Now if you want riots, general labor strikes, and mayhem here keep putting the people into office that believe that there is an endless trough that our leeches can feed out of forever.

It's got to end and the new battle lines are being drawn now between the public sector union worker and the private sector worker who pays their wages and supports the public sector worker well into retirement.
