They all go the way of Greece and Iceland at the end. You can only spend
as much as you earn. Running welfare spending beyond your means will land
you in chapter 11, and that's what is happening right now in Europe. You
can see fiscal collapse all over the place in Iceland, Ireland, Greece,
Portugal, Italy, Spain, Baltic nations, Hungary, France, UK ...
