Greeks are taking it on the chin. Their average pension benefits will be cut 11 percent; wages for government workers will be cut 14 percent; the basic rate for the value-added tax will rise from 21 percent to 23 percent. These measures will plunge Greece into a deep recession. In 2009, unemployment was about 9 percent; some economists expect it to peak near 19 percent. We don't cry for you Greekintina. This seems like something that will happen here, in the Good Olde United States? Wait and it will happen, that is a guarantee.
