Mother of All Strikes: Greece grinds to halt for 48 hours

Greece is closed for 48 hours - flights are grounded, schools, shops and factories all quiet - as the country endures what's being called the 'mother of all strikes'. It's arguably the biggest protest since the financial turmoil that's crippling the country began - but more cuts could be coming.

. As for the other EU members being in the same position yes they are but sooner they they would have to be if the F?cking Greeks would not have been so self serving and its population avoiding a tax infrastructure. For Greeks peoples actions and the me, me , me ideals it now forces higher rates on Spain,Italy,Portugal and Ireland debt forcing them into the same position sooner., Maybe you should go learn economics instead of sucking welfare from the other EU c countries.

@mpogias13 Plain and simple the whole free world did the same thing from 1962 to 1984 the only problem is that Greece and other EU countries carried it beyond the 1984 time frame. 50 Years of mis - management and self serving political moves. Greece was just to fu?cking stupid and its people fussing to pay taxes to a level where it would stall off the crap they have now. The same crap the USA, Canada and most the old free world would have reached come 2017

@Jeff84455 That was a single government's act in order to gain votes, without the knowledge of the Greek people. How can you be so ignorant and racist?

You fool, Greece wouldn't be in such a situation if EU's policies didn't suck so bad. Its obviously not a Greek problem if you see ALL countries having HUGE debts, even above the Maastricht limit. Why aren't they all kicked and having austerity measures then?

Why are Spain,Italy,Portugal and Ireland in the same position as us? Idiot....

@TheWhiteboy3431 Don't say that if you have no idea what you're talking about. You cannot imagine how much everyone (you included) will suffer if Greece defaults.
