Cockney, are you deliberately being dishonest? I ask because it seems like you are. The early retirement is for government workers, nearly all of whom get their jobs as part of a political spoils system, so whoever wins elections puts all of his cronies in cushy government jobs and places in the state owned industries where they do nothing but drink coffee and read the newspaper all day because they have no official duties. If he is feeling really ambitious then maybe he might stamp a few forms but only if the people who need the forms stamped first pays him a bribe, of course.
Greece is rotten to the core and only a fool can't see that. Your article was so full of fail it is hard to even know where to begin. First of all austarity didn't cause Greece's economic problems, Greece not paying it's ****ing bills caused the problems, Greece went begging for more free money from Germany when NO ONE ELSE would loan them a penny, and Germany agreed to do so in exchange for badly needed reforms which help to fix the reasons why Greece is such an economic basket case. Greece is now saying they won't live up to their side of the agreement so it is time to stop protecting them from the real world and watch them burn. Kick them out of the Euro and watch the new drackma quickly become as valueless as the Zimbabwean dollar or the Cuban Peso. Watch all their banks fail over night. Watch as zero imports get into the country because no one will accept the new drackma and instead demands payment up front in either Euros or dollars. The stupid lazy Greeks are 100% responsible for this and instead of trying to fix the problems they are still trying to see if they can change nothing and instead just want the rest of Europe to let them be welfare queens forever. It is time to say enough is enough, cut them loose, and enjoy watching these morons burn their own country to the ground. On the upside this will serve as a warning to the other PIIGS about ignoring reality plus the rest of Europe will at least benefit from a flood of cheap Greek prostitutes on every street corner. That, at least, would be more economically productive than what the Greeks are currently doing.
Oh, and you are a fool is you think the Greeks can't pay. Way back in 2012 there was a top to bottom inventory of saleable government assets (everything from race tracks to casinos to old office buildings to ports to airports to government owned companies of which there are hundreds) and they concluded even if they only made $0.50 on the dollar off of the sale of those assets they would still net $80 billion. Greece's entire national debt is only $140 billion so they very much can pay but don't want to and instead think that if they delay enough the rest of Europe will keep giving them free money and then they won't have to change anything.

It's poetry from beginning to end.
