		<description><![CDATA[The truth is anyone who contributes to a public or private pension receives far more in benefits than is paid in even with the employer match in the case of SS. 
SS is unsustainable due to two things: 1. it being expanded beyond its oringal purpose and 2. demographics--to many retirees and not enough future workers to pay into the system.  With low birth rates in Greece, their system also suffers from this demographic implosion. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Pal, the reality is the Greek pension system allows a person 14 &quot;monthly&quot; payments over a 12 month period.  This getting something for nothing is what is destroying the Greek economy.  Putting in $12 and taking out $14 and leaving a $2 IOU.  Those same people who &quot;voted&quot; for the 54 retirement age are the same people who keep voting for the corrupt politicians who are destroying that country and are the ones who are ultimately respnsible for Greece&#039;s sad state of affairs--stupidity on both counts! ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Correction: Greece sold bonds to raise money. The financial panic of &#039;09 effected the rest of the world&#039;s ability to finance Greece&#039;s debt. Greece may or may not have owned some of these in their portfolio, I don&#039;t know. But the point remains that &quot;greedy&quot; financiers didn&#039;t directly take money out of Greec&#039;s treasury.  ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Badaboo, you&#039;re full of piss and vineager today. It must be frustrating for you to believe you&#039;re the only one chatting on this blog with a command of the facts, and logic to boot. You&#039;re correct in alluding to the fact that the financial crisis had a major impact on Greece, but what you are missing is the fact that Greece made itself vunerable because of their heavy debt. By you placing 100% of the blame on greedy financiers, you avoid (deliberately, I think) the role leftist politicians have played. 
 
The conservatives are all saying the same thing: the pensions are not fully funded. True or False? The answer is true. Why this is so, and to what extent this caused budgets to go into deficit and for governments to resort to borrowing at unsustainable levels, has several factors. Here is where the controversy lies, not in whether or not Greece was ripped off by buying Lehman Bros. junk bonds - its the fact they they had to buy them to prop up their bloated bureaucracy that is the issue. But it does no one any good to turn a friendly debate into a platform for abusing those with whom you disagree. Mind your manners and be welcome here so we can learn from each other. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[An important factor in the equation is life expectancy.When sixty five was introduced ,as the retirement age in the u.s, life expectancy was...sixty five .It must have been anticipated ;that people would not live long enough to become a burden on the  state  and that most of what they contributed ,for their retirement, would  be retained by the state for other purposes.

		<description><![CDATA[Very few, if any, national pension plans get enough worker contributions to actually cover payouts. Meaning, almost all are subsidized by those still working. The Greek pension plans were more heavily subsidized than most, which was the only way people could retire at age 53 with 80% of their monthly earnings. And thus other nations, Germany being most important, are reluctant to subsidize those Greek pensions, given that their plans only payout at age 65 (67 in Germany).  
There&#039;s a reason Greece is in bigger troub le than most: it&#039;s been far less financially responsible. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&quot; massive entitlement &quot; that&#039;s new to the lexicon , buyt you guys mak&#039;em up as you go . Hey the Greeks are a DEMOCRACY ,and if they vote themselves a retirement age of 54 , where do you get &#039; entitlement &quot; from that ?  Why just because you have to wait till 62 ? They have a small economy , and if it would have been run right without corruption and mismanangement they wouldn&#039;t be in the fix they&#039;re in . It hasn&#039;t got a bloody thing to do with having a retirement age of 54 ...... But that&#039;s the &quot;conservative mantra &quot; these days ,  People work their lives and when they retire you call it entitlement ,and that&#039;s just your line of B.S. What a ridiculously absurd notion . If they have the economy and the FREEDOM to make retirement age 54 , all the better for them , and if anyone is dumb enough to think THAT is what upset their economy , then well all I can say is ...go buy some smart pills because you&#039;re in dire need of some .Oh , and btw , it wasn&#039;t the muslims either although I agree they should be kicked out anyway ....no put on your thinking caps . ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Greece is running out of money because they are supporting too many illegal immigrants who are mostly moslem. The simplest solution is to expell all moslems and illegal immigrants.  This is the choice the Greek lefest have entitilements or moslems. You cannot have both. We are waiting your decision. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Problem #1 - &quot;The Greek people and their massive sense of entitlement.&quot; 
 
Too many people in the United States, and in other nations, have this same massive sense of entitlement, and it is endangering stability everywhere. 
 
&quot;For one person to have a right to something he did not earn, someone else does not have the right to something he did earn.&quot;  -Walt Williams 
 
We must restore the notion of the importance of property rights and civil rights, and we must find the best way to eliminate entitlement programs. ]]></description>
