Greece braces for 48-hour strike amid crucial debate

As we all know, Greece has been under heavy financial strain and the government has been taking action in order to try to correct the problem; however, against the public opinion.  The government is planning on signing on even more spending cuts which has lead for the public to take drastic action against it.  The Greek population, both in the private in public sectors, has been planning on pulling off a 48 hour strike in order to get a point across to the government.  The government is saying that this will save approximately 13.5bn Euros.  However, they are saying that there will be a large amount of budget cuts and job losses due to this spending cut.  So far, future job outlook in Greece is not looking positive, hence the strike.
