It is a sign of the times, sadly. Many countries have been living well beyond their means for sometime now. Like any debt laden household, when income is less than outgoings, something has to give.
You simply cannot have sustained or indefinite unchecked growth. Somewhere along the line, as the idiom goes, "the piper has to be paid".
Frankly, I think the world economy is built like a "house of cards". Continue trying to build it bigger, it will collapse. It's inevitable.
Given the current world economical circumstance, Australia really IS the lucky country.
As Ralph Waldo Emerson said "With the past, I have nothing to do; nor with the future. I live now".
