There is NO OTHER WAY to save the country other than that. People should understand that in order to have the future you need to cut back a little bit now. Otherwise there is no other future than bankruptcy of the country.

Just because you caps locked "no other way" doesn't make it true. There actually are other ways. But because corruption is an inherent problem in big government, it's very rare that you will see the the interests of the working class put ahead of the economic hit men profiting from the chaos. At the end of the day they're the ones paying for all the fallout left over from corrupt policies and general incompetence of the decision makers, and they have every right to be angry and demand they be served for once. Now if you want examples of other ways look into what Equador's president Rafael Correa did to solve their problems and put some life back into the people. For him to kick the IMF bankers out of the country and to start doing something for the good of the nation was a revelation compared to the poor leadership we see now. The middle class needs to be prosperous and not burdened with debt otherwise the country will fail, once all jobs are out sourced, and tax and debt obligations make it impossible to make ends meat, who's going to buy all the crap they're selling? And people wonder why conversion ratios get worse and worse...
