1. People still don't realize that the Boc administration was the best thing that could happen to us.
Our national debt is less than 40% of the GDP in a time of a global economic crisis. Of course it grew since 2009 from 25% so the trend is a little worrying, which is why the government implemented austerity measures, because 3 million people (the employees of private companies that pay taxes) cannot pay the bills for the rest without making cuts ... and all the money that came from privatization have been eaten by PSD.
During Boc our economy was stable without drowning us in debt (compare with Greece's debt at 173% of GDP, or with Italy's and Ireland's which are at over 100%). Also take the stability of our national currency which historically has never been so stable.
2. I sympathize with the couple of hundred people that went to the streets. I would have gone myself, but instead of bitching about it I just work my ass off and make my own money, instead of begging for it.
There's a reason why Germany recovered after 2 world wars in which they were bitch-slapped, plus the fall of the Berlin wall which left them in recession. And now they are again amongst the biggest economies (first in Europe, fourth world-wide) ... they aren't beggars, while we are.

This. I know there are people who believe they have no opportunities, but most of the times they're wrong. There's ALWAYS an opportunity to make money and take care of yourself. Blaming the government and demanding that they take better care of you is just irresponsible.
