"... the crisis is looming, as it is in many other countries in the west, we're not alone. You look at Britain, you look at the US, you look at France ... the West has a problem, and when is it going to ween itself off debt."

Um, no. What we actually need to ween ourselves off is oil. Finite, polluting, increasingly expensive fossil fuels. That's a problem. This "Debt crisis" is an invention and a distraction.

@strypey yes, that, and taxing the richest, because presently, they're the ones who're currently holding the debt (and, unlike with tax, the rest of us are a) paying interest, and b) will pay them back, which is just foolish). We need a better government run by better leaders who don't see 'the rich' as their only constituents.
