When dealing with the public, sure I agree. But not at all when dealing with (supposedly) professional bodies such as national governments, I don't buy it.

I'm not pointing the "overspending" finger either, just saying, countries should take responsibility for their actions, not complain at the enablers.

I don't know much about Italian government, but unless there's some fundamental difference between them and the US, I don't see any chance of a government showing restraint and staying in power, when the other guys could deliver prosperity without the bill coming due for 10+ years.

What am I missing?
