The economic collapse of Greece is a wake-up call. The unsustainable combination of a bloated public bureaucracy, high deficit spending and unfunded pension obligations busted Greece's government bubble. Now the birthplace of modern democracy is on the brink of becoming a failed state. That's a bit of an extreme conclusion. Cut government pensions and salaries by 20% across the board, and their budget is probably balanced. What makes government employees think that they are entitled to be taken care of for the rest of their lives? Restaurant employees, construction workers, cleaners, store owners, and most other workers don't get taken care of post-retirement, why should the least productive and least necessary (government employees) get paid once they are done working?
