The new, not yet sworn in, government of Greece has announced that they will not be doing the big layoffs of government workers that their EU lenders/bailer-outers have demanded. Good call that. With the treasury empty and running a serious deficit and nobody will loan them money, it is essential to the life of the Greek republic that we keep every single bureaucrat on the payroll. The Parthenon would crumble with out every single paper pusher drawing his pay. And benefits, and pension.
I haven't heard any response from Angela Merkel. She is smart enough to understand that getting into a shouting match with Greeks just makes Germany look mean to the rest of the Euros. There is a lot of Euro ill will toward Germany left over from the 1940's.
Wanna bet the next hand out to the Greeks gets delayed some how?
