    Ok, from reading posts in this thread and others, 3 things are crystal clear.

    1 : Everybody wants someone else to take all the pain instead of themselves. As long as someone they can push the burden onto someone else, they are all for cuts of all sorts to them.

    2 : Some people want us to stay in dire straits because it gives them something complain about on the internet.

    3 : Everybody in Ireland is a fully trained and experienced economist now.

    THIS post sums up Ireland to a tee.

    1. Greed.
    2. Bitterness.
    3. Know-it-alls.

    Irish people eh..

    Who to blame for this mess makes no difference at this stage.

    We're heavily in the red and we're all going to have to dig deep to turn things around. Saying that the bankers or the rich or whoever should pay changes nothing.

    I thinks its pretty funny that the ones who complain about leaving huge debts for our children are the least likely to try and pull together to sort this mess out

    I saw a bunch of students on O'Connell street a couple of weeks ago with megaphones. They were screaming about the bankers and the government. "Why are our taxes going to the bankers", "Get rid of the the government who are wasting our taxes".

    Note the use of the word "OUR". I had to laugh.
    But I find most people crying "tax the rich", or "cut their wages" actually, when asked, it turns out are on the low tax rate or pay no tax at all. The very people being carried by the real tax payers.
