Recommended: The 'No Good Options' Era: We're all Greek now

Re my last post, you might want to read Matt Miller's piece in today's Washington Post: The 'No Good Options' Era: We're all Greek now.

It is remarkable how obtuse the Greeks in the streets are: their country is in dire financial straits because of their cultural habits (demanding ever higher pay and benefits, avoiding taxes), and yet they are rioting for the right to keep on doing what clearly isn't working.

Does this ring a bell? Aren't we Americans being just as obtuse, as we elect people on the basis of how much more government benefits they promise us and/or how much they promise to cut our taxes? The Greeks need to get real. So do we!!
