Time to pay the piper for Spain

News. MADRID (AP) — Spain will cut civil servants' salaries this year as part of a deficit-reduction plan to ease worries the country will slide into a debt crisis like that of Greece, the prime minister said Wednesday.

My point. Time to pay the piper. Now people have to give back what they received lavishly from their government plus interest.

Will we ever learn? How can we learn? The problem is that there will always be another politician promising bigger and better things and the "audacity of change" and we will believe him/her. And so the wheel turns and the pendulum swings. The survivors will survive and the naive of us will pay.
