TB - it is not going to be easy... as cultural changes ... even corporate cultural changes and transformations are very difficult... but sometimes necessary... the problem is most people dont understand basic principles of economics...

take UK for instance... they are implementing budget cuts to cover budget deficit... the government extended social services when times were good.. but now when they need to tighten the belt. the measures are rather unpopular. why.. because majority dont get it. plus people get used to luxury easy.. and downgrading is painful. Greece is the same.. they got used to lavish... and now not wanna go back to econimical... blaming Germany that pulls the locomotive
