Both countries with successful austerity measures under their belt. Austerity is literally like going on a died to loose weight. If you ever tried it, you will know how impossible it seems. But once it is over successfully, you will start to resent people who complain about "how impossible it is" because you know it isn't impossible and that those fat slobs are just not willing to leave their own zone of comfortability.

Edit:

Oh, and this weekend I got a job offer for working in Ireland. So it can't be that bad over there, if they even consider foreign nationals. (I probably won't take it, as I does not fit into my plans right now. But they kept me in their rolodex and call me again next year if a similar position opens)

BTW, either of you interested in a free German copy of this :)

You too :)

So in other words, it's not how I said, it's a lot worse.
