Banks Demand Bone-Crushing Austerity as Risk of Sovereign Default
Grows.PRINTER-FRIENDLY VERSIONSEND TO FRIENDDecember 13, 2009 (LPAC)"Who
would've guessed that if you bankrupt nations in an attempt to bail out the
banks, that the governments would go bankrupt? This is the question that the
Washington Post, in a front-page story, Saturday morning, should be asking, with
regard to its coverage of the growing fiscal problems of Greece and Ireland and
even the United States. Instead, we have the spectacle of the very bankers who
were bailed out with trillions of taxpayer dollars, demanding that governments
slash spending to the bone, despite the social upheavals that such attacks on
the general welfare will cause.Even worse, the named governments, instead of
protecting their people, are capitulating to the bankers' demands. The Irish
government announced, this week, $4 billion in cuts that will mean broad
reductions in state payments to the unemployed and
the disabled, as well as government salaries. The newly installed Socialist
government in Greece, after Moody's lowered its bond rating for the second time
in six weeks, promised to outline emergency cuts, next week, which while
pleasing to the bond markets, are heightening fears of civil unrest. And the
bankers are demanding more. "Considering the gravity of the situation, I am
confident that the Greek government will in the near future take the courageous
and necessary measures required," European Central Bank president Jean-Claude
Trichet said in Brussels, this week. In this case, "courageous" means the
willingness to kill your own people to please the bankers.
