And the quote of choice for me was

"Of course this will be money we have to borrow ourselves, because we don't have any money”

In layman's terms, that's about it.

Too much money
Rampant Clientelism
Poor Government and no Oversight in Banking
Corruption that would bring a blush to a West African despot's cheek

On the bright side - we have the current lot of politicians on the run - I don't think that they'll last the week.

Hopefully people will be more level headed for the next decade at least.

Too True.
As far as having the current crop of politicians on the run goes, I dont fancy the big fellas chances if it comes to a foot race...!
