Greeks walked off the job for 48 hours on Tuesday, a day before Parliament is to vote on unpopular austerity measures that are deemed critical to unlocking international financial support.

   After all, the poodle-for-the-rich governor has imposed his own austerity measure in NY to curry favor with the rich. What else do we do?
