Tell that to someone in Greece at the moment, or one of the 50% of Spanish youth who find themselves without jobs, or the thousands in Ireland who have had to emigrate.

The current mess is the result of the collapse of the financial system in 2008.

I already was of this opinion but this thread has just reinforced it. It seems to me that the right-wing belief system is just a massive self-reinforcing pattern of denial. When reality (from global warming to crashed economies) threatens or invalidates their belief systems they retreat into ever more frantic denial and distortion, ending in a mad dash for bogeymen to pin the blame on. We've seem the full gamut in threads on this very forum over the last few weeks - everything from those mad corrupted scientists through the (usual suspect) Marxists and socialists, athiests, even homosexuals a few weeks back. Everything is fair game if it allows them to sustain their cosy cocoon of denial.

Anyway, I've said I wouldn't get involved in this and I have. This one's for you Andy.

I'm off now before the Klan arrive.
