This is socialism....Or what happens when half the population is living on OPM

Greece is a proof that progressive economics and governance is all a pyramid scheme, designed entirely to entice people into thinking they can work less and have more benefits. Until of course it all comes crashing down, and you're left with anarchy. These people in Greece today do not even have access to the money they've earned their whole lives, save 60 euro of it per day, if the ATM isn't dry. This is all by design though, this is exactly the state that progressive shitstains want to see all countries in: desperate and demanding their government do more for them.
So now their government will get another bailout putting them further in debt and an even more unsustainable position, or it will collapse into total anarchy and open the door for communism.
The only other option is to embrace austerity and put an end to absurd progressive ideas. I doubt they will do that, but hopefully a dose of reality has wakened them to the truth about progressives.

20% of the workforce is employed by the government where in the US it is only a bit over 16%. What is really interesting is looking at the states that do employ 20% of the workforce in government jobs. Guess what? Most of them are red states. Imagine that!

Governments employ 20 percent or more of workers in nine states - The Business Journals

School systems are some of the biggest employers in rural counties, so your argument fails

More deflection; I love it.

Not deflection just the truth, I notice how the left loves to use percentages instead of actual numbers.

Because percentages don't matter? LMAO!!! So New York has 15% of the state working for the government, and Alabama has 22%. In your convoluted view of things, you must believe that Alabama is doing things better and has smaller government since they have less overall government employees even though they only have one quarter of the population of New York. This is conservative thinking at its best.

again no real numbers? Just percentages to deflect.

So Alabama has 20,000 state workers and New York has 3,000,000 state workers, yet you call Alabama has a bigger government?

Yea ok math genius.

Wow, talk about bad math. You better go back to school, because you have no clue when it comes to percentages and statistics.

Greece has issues that are in fact a huge drag on their economy & state for that matter, that has nothing to do with how they choose to govern the place.
