    They're rioting because they don't want to cut their spending, they're rioting in an effort to get into a situation worse than ours.

    Who gives a toss? I can't take any more of this economy crap.

    No matter how bad anyone says we are, nothing really changes.

    Depends on what you mean by worse. Did our borrowing last year exceed theirs? Yes. Is the outlook worse for us than them? No

    And that's the reason their outlook is far, far, far worse than ours.

    We have begun to correct our situation by getting our budget deficit and current expenditure under control, and by taking steps to resolve the banking crisis.

    Unless, of course, you would prefer we commit economic suicide by staging large strikes/protests etc.
