Discussion: Leftist Syriza Leader Sworn In As New Greek Prime Minister

Discussion for article #232489

Maybe if Europe did not pursue punishing austerity policies in the aftermath of the Crash of 2008 – but instead implemented more-stimulative policies like the US did in 2009 - 2010 – groups such as these would not have been able to ride a tide of resentment over skyrocketing unemployment and reduced social safety net spending.

This is what happens when a gov’t doesn’t listen to/take care of the people who put them in office. If only the lower-economic class of the republi-tard party in this were smart enough to recognize themselves in the Greek people!
