      No, but taxpayers are. Dig deep.

          As a taxpayer you give your government AAAAAA+++++***** ratings. Try not paying tax to pay back your governments debts and see what happens.

            Nah, countries have gone bust throughout history. If you go on defaults on government debt then there are only four countries that have never failed. UK is one and I’m looking for this list of the rest and will edit this post later if I find it. I know that the US is not on the list.
            How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror.
