I wasn't aware the retirement age was so low in Greece, but when you think about it many government jobs in this country allow you to retire after 20 or 30 years on the job. Government workers who belong to certain unions have certainly got a good deal for their workers, but its a bad deal for tax-payers who will have to pick up the tab---that's what happened in Greece and the government can no longer pay the bill.
