    Old Asian proverb:

    "If you're going to ride the tiger, be sure you know how to get off without being eaten."

    Every Tiger turns round and bites you in the ass eventually, that's how they work, not even the most die-hard capitalist would deny that - it's the whole point. Their argument is that through various policies we can minimise the effects of the busts, but that's clearly bull****e.

    Did anyone seriously expect the Celtic Tiger to last forever? I assure you not a single economist could really not see this coming. It's the way of the free market world.

    I'd say deal with it, but you don't have to, there are alternatives, and at the end of a boom period is the perfect time to make the switch.
