Greece has been reeling from the sever effects of crippling austerity measures with the following problems:



Unemployment is soaring at 27% and constantly rising



Businesses continually closing down



Wages and retirement funds are being cut



Taxes keep being raised beyond the ability of ordinary citizens to pay while the rich still get away with major tax evasion



Health care has been cut to the point people including babies are dying from lack of medications, lack of staff, lack of adequate facilities and medical equipment



Children have fainted in schools due to lack of adequate nutrition



Educational standards have been lowered while schools and university level institutions are closing.



In order for there to be development the austerity measures need to end and start promoting growth of industry which will help the nation our of the recession.
