        Greece in crisis, and buy 60 aircraft for 4 billion?



        Greece wants to buy 60 fighter jets "Yurofaytar" worth about 4 billion, reports the German newspaper "Tsayt", citing a senior ministry official.

        According to a publication in the online edition of the transaction is a priority for the Greek Ministry of Defense. Other priorities include the purchase of French frigates, which are approximately the same amount as the purchase of patrol boats for the Coast Guard for 400 million.

        Planned transactions take place after the March installment of Greece received a bailout.

        Newspaper "Welt" even says that if Athens receives the next tranche of 80 billion euros, has a serious chance of being concluded and new arms deals. The German edition states that Greece and Portugal are the best buyers of German war production.

        The program for stability and development of the Greek government provides arms squeeze costs by 0.2%, or 457 million euros, while social spending reduction is 1.8 billion.

        As an explanation for the high cost weapons of Athens, "Welt," statement indicates a former Greek foreign minister, because of competition with Turkey, Greece is obliged to maintain a strong army, whether he wants.

        The newspaper also alleged that there was no objection from the Greek citizens as military jobs.

            From late 2009 to late November 2011 the banks were withdrawn in Greece 64.5 billion euros, according to Greek media.



            In 2009 the stakes in Greek banks amounted to 237.3 billion euros and a year later they were reduced to 172.8 billion euros.

            In the period September-November 2011 due to lower growth prospects for the Greek economy from the banks withdrawn 15.7 billion.

              Over 900 thousand unemployed in Greece
              Најнови вести од Македонија, Економија, Регион, Свет, Сцена, Магазин, Спорт...

              Greek newspaper "Ethnos" writes today that unemployment in Greece gets dramatic proportions.

              Official figures show that unemployment in October 2011 amounted to 18.2 percent. Compared with the same month the previous year it increased by 4.7 percent.

              Over 900 thousand people looking for work.

              The paper states that there is a crisis because of social division.

              In the public sector every day 600 people lose their jobs, and private sector wages decrease, but not firing workers.

              Unemployment among young people is at a record high. In the age group up to 24 years it reaches 45.5 percent.

              It is expected that this year the situation to deteriorate further.

              The paper stresses that it is a matter of time when unemployment will exceed 20 percent respectively when one million people will remain jobless.

                  That's great news, the more money greece spends on arms purchases the more money it needs to take away from public programs...it's the quickest route to 'failed state' it can take...

                  BTW, just out of curiosity...I'm a traditional news 'gatherer', I have a look at the internet news sites, maybe get the weekend papers, (remember the paper variety?) radio and tv services...has FB replaced these?

                    Is this in response to parents abandoning their children ie scare the parents into keeping them?

                    Or could it be the Greek greed has no end - I'd imagine it would be hard to find the time to indulge in their 'disability' and hold down a full time job.

                    Greece recognizes Pedophilia as "Disability"



                    Friday, 13 January 2012
                    For those wondering where the permutations of progressives’ infatuation with government-enforced moral relativism lead, Greece is a bellwether. Despite teetering on the brink of national insolvency, Greece’s Labor Ministry has decided to expand its list of state-recognized disability categories. The latest additions? Exhibitionism, kleptomania–and pedophilia.

                    Thousands of Greek pedophiles are now eligible to recieve state money, quit their job with the new law.


                    “What’s happened is incomprehensible. I think there is some big mistake. The ministry should have a different policy on disability,” said Yiannis Vardakastanis, leader of Greece’s National Confederation of Disabled People (NCDP). ”The list contains major changes to disability quotients, which could effectively remove many people from access to benefits.” The NDCP itself called the ruling “incomprehensible” and noted that pedophiles will now be awarded a greater level of disability payments than some people who receive organ transplants. ”It’s really not serious to grant Peeping Toms a 20-30 percent disability rate, and 10 percent to diabetics, who have insulin shots four or five times a day,” fumed Vardakastanis.

                    The Labor Ministry claimed that the new categories on the list–which also includes pyromaniacs, compulsive gamblers, fetishists and sadomasochists–were determined by a panel of medical experts, but that they did not necessarily signify benefit entitlements. ”No insured citizen has received any benefit under the new rates,” a statement released by the Ministry on Tuesday explained.

                    Yet the NCDP remains alarmed. They are in talks with Labour Minister Giorgos Koutroumanis to get the new code changed before it goes before the Greek parliament and is voted into law. Their primary concerns are two-fold: the new code could be used to undermine state benefits to current disability groups, many of whom rallied in December demanding job and benefit protection; and the new disability scale would work cumulatively “so a person gets 20 per cent for one thing, then more for something else–and when they reach 67%, they are entitled to benefits,” noted Vardakastanis, who is blind.
                    Is Greece the new land of opportunity? Pedophiles certainly think so.
                    With the cumulative benefit, it sounds like it means you can go rob someone, flash them and touch-up their kids, the more money you get. Is this the 'new' face of Greece. Wait a minute, what new 'face' - they're known thieves, they have no shame, and their history talks of older soldiers buggering you cadets and kids. I always thought Greek style meant one thing but now it means more - as long as the Germans keep paying.

                      What are you supposed to do, sit on the guy's lap?
                      How do you not get groped by the 'driver', or is that one of the 'Greek style' benefits one can experience on one's next holiday?

                        Germany Would rather see Greece out of Eurozone



                        Friday, 13 January 2012
                        Lawmakers from Chancellor Angela Merkel’s party are stepping up pressure on Greece as it struggles to meet the terms of its second bailout, saying that a Greek exit from the euro region would be manageable and less costly.

                        The comments by senior members of Merkel’s Christian Democratic Union, made before a meeting of the CDU leadership that begins today, keep the focus on the Greek government as it strives to reach a debt-swap deal with private creditors that Merkel has said must be struck to win more aid. They are also a challenge to the chancellor’s public stance as she steers European efforts to keep the 17-member single euro area intact.

                        Such “threats” should be taken seriously, said Moritz Schularick, an economy professor at the John F Kennedy Institute of Berlin’s Free University. “The costs of rescuing the euro are so outrageous it’s no surprise that Merkel’s lawmakers are beating the drum on what’s at stake,” he said by phone. “At some point, a euro exit may become a real option. That wasn’t the case before.”

                        Michael Meister and Michael Fuchs, both Christian Democratic Union deputy parliamentary caucus leaders, called into question Greece’s future in the euro zone in separate interviews, saying that crisis-fighting bulwarks introduced since Greece tapped aid in 2010 have made contagion “significantly” less likely.
                        Greece will have no other option than to exit the euro area as it struggles under a mountain of debt, unable to regain its competitiveness without having its own currency to devalue, said Fuchs, the CDU’s parliamentary economy spokesman.

                        For Greece, “the problem is not whether they are capable of paying their loans -- they will not, not at all, never,” Fuchs said by phone from his Berlin office on Jan. 11. Greece is still a “special case” and the other 16 euro members will resolve their debt problems and retain the currency, he said.

                        Fuchs dismissed the prospect that letting Greece go would trigger speculative attacks against indebted countries such as Spain or Italy. Italy is a “rich” country and banks would be able to withstand any contagion effect, said Fuchs. Talk of contagion from Greece would be “right if we’re talking about two years ago.”

                                That is how the US makes there money, they start wars and conflicts and then they get countries to buy weapons from them.
