5)Luxembourg: Prime Minister of Greece.
Analysis-
This article is self explanatory. Basically if Greece does not stop spending they will be in an even greater debt than they already are. The Prime Minister Luxembourg wants a back up pain just in case there will be an economic down fall. Other politicians like Mr. Juncker feel that there is no need to prepare for the worst. in conclusion to this article a plan must be made by the dead line in March.
Explanation-
Greece is seeking a financial rescue package from fellow eurozone members as it tries to reduce its giant public deficit from 12.7% - more than four times what single currency rules allow.The plan is to reduce the percentage to 8.7% in the year 2010 by cutting public spending. If those plans do not work then the government will go into higher measures by increasing taxes.
Prediction-
If the spending continues to occur the economic down fall with not only effect Greece but the world as a whole. All the nations in the world will be effected by the change. i believe more problems will seep to the surface if we do not cure the main issue or peoples spending.
