Yes, The cutbacks in pensions and wages have been severe. In some cases the pension was exsessive cutting in at 55. However some of the cures proposed by other countries are harsh.

It is strange the cutbacks in the the Country that started the Global Financial recession the USA were not so hash. Perhaps they had less to cut back or these measures might not be a cure at all.

this was a problem long before the recession. Germany and France had to start dialing back a number of years back during their pullback from socialism. the rest of europe should have as well but refused and are now the problem children that will shatter the eurozone.

Well, the Chinese do provide a lot of jobs for longshoremen, sending all of that cra.. I mean manufactured goods for them to unload. At least someone gets to have a job out of outsourcing everyone else's job to China.
