A dose of reality: social cohesion.

There are many, many valid grievances, but  some issues really stand out:

The world’s five biggest AAA-rated states are all at risk of soaring debt costs and will have to implement austerity plans that threaten “social cohesion”, according to a report on sovereign debt by Moody’s. The US rating agency said the US, the UK, Germany, France, and Spain are walking a tightrope as they try to bring public finances under control without nipping recovery in the bud. It warned of “substantial execution risk” in withdrawal of stimulus.

That would be the tight-rope without a net.  Tanking economies and “social cohesion” swamp all else.
