Maybe rude is more effective

Not the most diplomatic comment I've ever left. Truthout article titled Greece Has Been a Laboratory on a Way Out of a Capitalist Crisis:

Government austerity sucks the calcium from the bones of workers and sells it off to give 'tax relief' to the rich (depletes worker productivity by reducing healthcare and education/skills). Privatization sucks all the valuable materials out of public infrastructure and sells it for scrap (leaving behind unreliable roads & bridges requiring user fees). Then the power brokers, policy makers, and especially the economists who designed such ponzi-esque schemes get to express their shock and dismay that an economy without productive capacity can't produce. Unfortunately, they profit while the workers pay the price.
