不知道有没有同学关心希腊局势？我憋得难受，和大家侃一下：
据BBC新闻, 介于 70% 到 80% 之间的希腊人反对这个叫勤俭节约计划（the austerity plan）.
Greeks oppose the austerity plan。但我认为他们抗议的原因not that there should be no austerity package, but there should be no this particular austerity package. The current proposal was fundamentally flawed:
- taxes on those earning the minimum wage,
- current unemployment reach to more than 16%.这基础上进一步消减雇员，失业率还会进一步上升。
They should increase the tax of those with higher incomes, starting from the MPs themselves. Why should they cut the pensions and other welfare payments given that so many people are unemployed and they may need these benefits to survive？
所以，关键问题是，他们现在这个austerity plan不fair。所以引发了大规模的抗议。穷人已经没多少活路了，default不default，对他们没有什么太大的不同。鉴于此，希腊的政府才没有多少说服力，来让百姓支持他们。即便是这次的计划暂获议会通过，希腊的政局也不好说。另一次申贷也很快就来临，因为没有生产，就没有入账。没有入账，咋勒肚皮也没用。
