"The ability to reduce spending and tax its citizenry - providing they 
are informed and benefit from the measures - represents a competitive

its fiscal house in order, does not care about repaying its debts and 
may be heading for collapse."

should read "The inability...". Pretty sloppy for a mainstream article.
