Banks are receiving ever-larger bailouts, while countries that borrowed are cutting social programs and face rising social tensions and political instability as a result. Countries like Greece, Italy, and arguably Portugal over-borrowed, and now their citizens face severe consequences.
欧洲当前也存在同样的情况，而且更加残酷。银行获得了规模史无前例的援助，而那些向银行贷款的国家却在削减社会福利项目，并因此面临着不断高涨的社会矛盾和政治不稳定状况。希腊（或许还能算上葡萄牙）这样的国家过度借债，而他们的人民正面对着严重后果。但那些过度发放贷款的银行家们却无需为任何后果买单。
