Yet the 1,200 who waited for bread, rice and vegetable soup at a kitchen visited by CNBC this week are just a fraction of the many hungry people in Athens and the surrounding area, as the noose of austerity tightens around the Greek population.

Here is the propaganda. These are victims of austerity. Out of control borrowing and spending, leading to governmental bankruptcy is not the issue, it's the eeeevil austerity measures.

True, but then point to a time when the poor, children, the hungry and homeless werenot used as ‘pawns’ by someone.

” Out of control borrowing and spending, leading to governmental bankruptcy is not the issue, it’s the eeeevil austerity measures “

‘We bribed you with cake, and cake, and more cake — so that now there’s no money left to give you bread..’

Austerity is just a big word for Broke, in this context....
