99 Thinkers and a looser aka G.A.Papandreou
Dear FOREIGN POLICY
It would be better, before you add someone in the list, firstly to make an investigation to who-is-who and not just by reading the Headlines.
PM G.A.Papandreou maybe had wins few votes more nearly 18% of the voters, but that you dont know is that he controls the 90% of Mass Media, something like Berluskoni in Italy. So it is almost...
impossible, for any other opinion, other than governance to be heard.
To explain my title "looser" please read the followings.
1. Becomes PM and the previous goverments delivers to him the spreads 130 in now there are almost 1000 !
2. The debt of Greece is almosto 300 billion Euros. And what is he doing firstly? He cut down the very low pensions and payment of social officials and saves only 1 bil/year only! Hoora! He led thousand of people to poverty to go from 300 to 299! What a thinker!
3. The cut down of wages is leading to depresion and the Bankruptcies goes up in 2010 44% from 2009's! What is he thinking?
4. What he thoughts next? To raise taxes!
a. 25/3/2010 he raise taxes from 13% to 15% and from 19% to 21%. The
incomes of the state collapses. FAILED!
b. 1/7/2010 he raises again the taxes 15% to 16% and from 2% to 23%. A bigger failure! FAILED!
c. He raise up the taxes in fuels, another failure to increase taxes incomes! FAILED
I wonder if Harvard or Yeal is good institutes at all! Is it possible from anyone to know that if you reduse someones income and increase prices, nobody buys? If he was an financial advisor in Coca Cola and he increases the Colas price 50% and nobobys buying, wouldn't he be fired?
5. He said that despite the above failures the loss (incomes to expenses) would fall from 13% to 8% and today is only 11%. They even add more expenses 2009 to excuse their failure. FAILED.
6. They tax more companies to collect money, because of thei failure! As a result they predict depresion 1-2% and now is 3-4%! FAILED
7. They predict inflation almost 3% and now is 5.8% and raising! FAILED.
8. The unemployment will be increasing to 12% this year, and to 14%-16% next year! Who's going to buy anything in 2011 to move the real economy? FAILED!
9. As I said above the debt of Greece is 300 bill Euros. Before the elections of 2014 will be 480 bill Euros ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! FAILED!
10. The above 480 bill Euros must be returned until 2021! Didn't they learn math in US Colleges? The incomes of Greece are 50-55 billions/year how is it possible to return 480 bill/ 7 years = 68.57 billions/year cash! Kinderkarden MATH! FAILED!
11.All the financial investments in Greece were either canceled or aborted! he even canceled oil pipes project! I suppose Arabs or Russia who sell oil are jerks! FAIILED!
Please recosinder again your top 100 catalogues! It is not a shopping list.
