Here's the recap:
IrelandWhat would the EE advise the Irish?
Population: 6.1 million
Debt: $1.8 trillion
That's trillion with a T. And the population is half of that of Mumbai.
Quick long division later, that's $448K for each man, woman and child.
That's a fuckload of Riverdance tickets they are going to have to sell. Or they could just institute a penny-tax per pint, and they'll pay it back in a year.
Get drunk!
About the only option you've had for millenia. You think you can beat that by borrowing a crapload of money?
