Denying reality is a union specialty. Greek unions are on a two-day general strike today and members are rioting in the streets of Athens once more as the threat looms of new austerity measures being rejected by the Greek Parliament. That would lead to 'economic suicide' according to the Governor of the Bank of Greece. Consequences would be an immediate exit from the Euro, a return to the drachma, a massive run on the banks as well as general economic chaos. Can a coup be far behind?
Meanwhile, Britain faces a union strike by 750,000 public sector workers on Thursday, over plans to reduce taxpayer subsidies of their unsustainable pension plans which already cost each UK household around 1000 Pounds ($1600) a year. Yet these self-centered leftists think they are owed it. As usual, it's all about them.
