While Europe is in an economic Sovereign Debt Crisis hunting down the rich like they are the prize in a fox hunt, the EU government spending, waste, and salary increases do not stop. The interesting aspect is they pass a law about salary increases and then point to the law and demand retroactive salary increases saying it is not them, it is the law that says they have to take it. This is why we simply have to crash and burn. There is no discussion possible with politicians who are only out to grab whatever they can.
