As intensely frustrated as I get at the idiocy frequently shown by government here in the US, for truly high handed over the top governmental lunacy we can rarely compete with the Europeans:

Ah, European sophistication at its finest! “We have a problem with many of the governments of the European Union being hopelessly in debt and continuing to spend as if they are drunken American Chinese tourists! Solution, we will ban credit agencies from reporting on the situation! Voila, problem solved!” Brilliant Michel. That should indeed solve the problem except for those individuals who have access to the internet. I assume you have a plan to put that under the supervision of the government of the European Union?
I have a buddy that has the philosophy that shooting the messenger sends a very profound message!
I believe the tradition pre-dates the invention of gunpowder and firearms.
