EXACTLY! People have to accept the fact that if your gov't can't afford it, then you can't do it. To me, that's a simple concept to understand.
Yes, I noticed the downgrades. The EU problem is exactly where it was 2 years ago. All they do is kick the can down the road like it will go away. Few Euro-nations have actually implemented sustainable changes even though they have no choice.
Europeans seem to have this "My gov't owes me" mentality. It's like they think they're entitled to certain guarantees in life. Sadly, they just don't think about how they're going to fund them!
If I buy a new car, 80 inch big screen and a nice 30 foot powerboat, I have to be able to pay for those things. If I can't, then they get taken away from me.
Same goes for gov't programs....
