I see where some of the comments are coming from about us being well off compared to the likes of parts of Africa and Asia. But, on the other hand, we wouldn't have these luxuries today if it wasn't for wanting to make ourselves better off, and these third world countries would be even poorer. So it's not unreasonable to be complaining about something you're unhappy about.

The saying goes that society is only a few hot meals away from anarchy. If we didn't complain about things and get our debt in order, we will be no better off than a third world country. Remember, Germany was carting around wheelbarrows of notes Zimbabwe style less than a hundred years ago. Now they're propping up the rest of Europe.
