"This is what complete social collapse looks like. First, the local Neo Nazi party has soared in the polls and is now the third most popular Greek party. Then, in lieu of other sources of capital, a local brothel became the head sponsor of a minor-league soccer club from Larissa. Now, the same brothel which appears to have seen a substantial return on its advertising spend, has decided to branch out... straight into a local elementary school. That's right: a whorehouse is advertising its "services" to children in an elementary school. In exchange for what? Money to purchase a Xerox machine and a library."

Well there's yet another austerity vote coming up.
How much cuts/taxes can these people take ?

They've already got black markets, an underground currency and bartering going on because it's so bad over there.
People are waiting for outdated food, which is now allowed to be put on the shelves rather than thrown out, so they can eat.

I just don't see how the Greek government thinks their people can pay off those debts.

By the time anything like this hits a city near you it will be way to late to do anything about it.
