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.
