Er, this turned in to a rambling rant. Some of it might be worth reading.... I don't agree with this analysis. Its a one sided argument against the current plan. Which is fine, but its certainly not the whole story. Part 15, the solution, is absurd. It has all the problems outlined in the previous 14 points. It is no solution, because there isn't a reasonable no pain solution. People are literally saying anything that pops in to their heads because the cant cope with the idea proposed already. I get that, but there isn't really an alternative. The country, or to put it another way, a big group of people, have gone way too far in to debt. An individual in the same circumstances would go bankrupt, but that is not an option for a country, as far as I know. In the end, they have to settle the debts. Not only that, borrow more money to survive. What interests me is the reaction of the people. It all seems a bit civilised. There isn't much worse a government can do to its people, yet the people seems incredibly calm about it. I am still surprised that the people haven't stormed their parliament. This i the real test. How far can you push a population? Looks like you can push them pretty far. Also, I still cant get my head round peoples who vote in governments then trying to separate themselves from the actions of that government. Or take out loans, then blame the banks for handing those loads out. Or scream hysterically about socialism, when its capitalism and its basic law of supply and demand that has caused the whole mess. The biggest joke of all, in the UK at least, is that with a disaster caused by banks dishing out toxic loans, the banks are now under pressure to loan out more. Half the problem is people now working to pay off loans, reducing the amount of money that can be spent in general. We want them to borrow more, when their jobs are uncertain? In the end, the problem is greed and impatience, and us the people demanding that we are loaned the money to satisfy that. Im sorry, but IMHO, the whole system is a wreck, and no one wants to take responsibility for any of it. Governments are too interested in protecting votes, and that is making them avoid any harsh but effective solutions. Anyway, point being, I'm not seeing any realistic long term solutions anywhere. The Cypriot idea is interesting to me, and rather than knee jerk against it, I am interested in seeing how it pans out. I mean, what if it works? The UK is said to have triple dipped, so what ever is going on here isn't much cop, we are just scraping along the financial gutter. Could a one off injection of all our money save the day? Its our country, our debt. I'm stopping now. I'm boring and confusing myself....
