Greek child, abandoned by destitute parents, begs to survive because socialism destroyed his nation's economy
Ultimately, once a nation runs out of other peoples' money, it becomes unable to do what it promised to do: Take care of its people.
See, socialism does NOT work in the long run.
Children are being abandoned on Greece's streets by their poverty-stricken families who cannot afford to look after them any more.
Youngsters are being dumped by their parents who are struggling to make ends meet in what is fast becoming the most tragic human consequence of the Euro crisis.
If a government doesn't have the balls to tell the socialists, unionists and "protestors" to shut up and behave or face personally devastating consequences, then the nation will collapse and the most vulnerable will inevitably suffer.

Hilariously, the Mail (Sentinel's source for this story and picture) just finished a series on Roma children begging in London, Italy, Kosovo, and other European centres. What an odd coincidence. I guess they had a few pictures left over. :)
Hey, this just gets funnier and funnier.
This story was run one day previously, by the Daily Mirror, an astonishingly bad British tabloid perhaps best known for faking data they claimed was from "The Economist" to prove George Bush was stupid. But their story didn't have that picture.
The picture is copyrighted by a New York based stock footage supplier that sells pictures of anything, anywhere in the world.
Once again, Sentinel, your taste in news sources proves to be...interesting. :)
So you're saying the story isn't true, then. Am I correct in my interpretation?
Or are you just mad that I'm bashing your preferred ideology? ;)
Heh. I'm saying that the picture you rather dramatically captioned "Greek child, abandoned by destitute parents, begs to survive because socialism destroyed his nation's economy", probably shows no such thing.
I'd be happy to engage in a discussion of the European debt crisis, its causes, and its impacts on the EU (especially Greece, Italy, Spain, Ireland and Portugal) if you're interested, but I'm not sure you want to conduct the debate at that level.
