Analysis: This article was written to inform people what is going on in the world. This article was made November 30 at 11:57 am. The article is trying to make citizen of Greece become aware of there actions. To see that they are making their government more in debt as they make stupid decisions. This  relates to are country because we are going through a financial crisis too, and I'm pretty sure we have had a rise in some kind of infections.
