One thing - can we PLEASE stop saying we're becoming "Greece"? Everything in this country is headed AWAY from that. Yeah, we certainly have a spending problem - but at least our deficit is going down (just too slow), employment is picking up (again, too slow), retirement ages are being INCREASED (we never got close to the 'everyone retires at 50 and doesn't pay taxes' stage like they're at in Greece).

Yeah, we have financial problems - and ours are more like the rest of Europe - not Greece.
