Golden rule

Quote of the day:

While it rankles to be beholden to the opinion of the same financial markets as caused the global financial crisis, the fact remains that we’re debtors, and the rules about what happens to those who don’t pay their debts haven’t changed. Pattrick Smellie

The golden rule still applies – those with the gold make the rules.

As long as we’re heavily indebted we’re at the mercy of those to whom we owe money.
