Um, in Iran health care provision is not collapsing as we speak. Parents are not giving their children up to social services because they cannot pay the bills. People are not being taxed through the electricity bill in order to pay interest on money that never actually makes it to the country.

Have you been keeping track of what Jean-Claude Juncker has been saying? Such as
"We are highly concerned by the high unemployment and increasing poverty, but we agreed Spain will stick to the 3 percent target in 2013, which is more important than the avenues chosen in 2012," Juncker explained.
I don't agree that Spain should go through excessive and stupid consolidation that puts it in a more difficult situation than it already is, but on the other hand Spain is the fourth- largest economy of the euro zone and as such it cannot take total leave from the promises it has made," Juncker said.

Exactly.
