    Source: Singapore Homelessness
    by Monica Kotwani at Asia Calling on April 24, 2010

    Enough with the PIIGS, a totally unhelpful acronym. What we’re really seeing now is a crisis of the “cohesion countries” — the countries that entered the EU relatively poor, and for a time received substantial aid in the form of “cohesion funds”.
