The epidemic of euro austerity will continue to create the conditions for further sovereign debt problems even if the Greek crisis is laid to rest for many months. Is Portugal the next on of the PIIGS to crash land?

In the immortal words of Yoda, Do or not do. There is no try. What has needed doing has been blindingly obvious from the outset. Unfortunately our leaders have been in the not do camp for far to long and are only now starting to think about trying. The time is now long overdue for them to actually do !

Only true word spoken is the official who could no longer judge.
WEST has gone EAST, EAST has gone WEST, dropping some money in the middle.
No amount of shuffling debits and credits is going turn things around.
However we will continue in the same way until collapse as in previous depressions.
Not necessary bring in some wise rules link politician's pay to average pay, individual's need a voice

I found the article below linked to by the Guardian live business blog on Portugal very helpful.
"Portugal was also cut to junk status by S&P last week. And as economist Shaun Richards warns, the mistakes of Greece are being made all over again."
