I am a Greek citizen and i really want to know your opinion about the economy crisis here in Greece. Everyday here we have new anouncements and new taxes to pay because of this crisis. Only in 3 months we pay for gasoline exactly double the price which we were called to pay in the past. A lot of countries think that this situation has come because in the past we spent more money then these that we were earning. But this isnt true. All the money were stolen by our politicians. We have a lot of scandals and a lot of big companies who earned these money collaborating with corrupted politicians. The common Greek citizen never had more money than he needed. He always had the basics. Nothing more.

dear friend.. I have been looking around this ECONOMY and RECESSION part of the news. And, to admit a fact,. i got scared about this global phenomenon, some years back.
Now, this topic has been some 4 months back.. and, if you see... the economy is still pulling.
If by economy .. you mean to say, the GOVERNMENT and WORLD BANK reported statistics.. of the share market, and of the gold-prices, or the wholesale index of commodities, .. then.. I DON'T comment.
but, if you mean about the common man, and the troubles of getting two square meals a day, with ease.. then, .. one has to consider the impressions....
----------------
the governments and the mafia, the terrorists, the industries, the employees .... all add to the troubles of common citizen of the world.. and these dirty people see to it that the common man never lives in peace.

My friend you are absolutely right. And of course i talk abouth the man who tries to live with 750 euros per month and he cant pay even the food for his children. I am talking about everybody who is near to loose his house of the banks and he cant pay even his bills.

dear dear GreekFriend.. it is not surprising that the AUTHORITIES are crying hoarse about the recession, and the global reasons, including the recent BP oil spill.. which seem to be their reasons for the CRISIS..
BUT, none seem to bother to think about the sufferings of common citizens.
