Look at Greece.

Our future isn't going to be all that different.

Except of course that I doubt the American people will actually have the balls to rise up and protest.

We'll be so busy blaming our neighbors for our woes, that we won't bother to hold the people who are actually responsible for this mess at fault.

It's the Republicans' fault!​

No! it's the Democrats' fault!​

Fucking clueless partisan idiots.
