"A number of people have asked me for a quick, easy explanation of the 
difference between a government and a family — basically, what’s wrong with the 
argument that when times are tough the government should tighten its belt.

I’m working on it. But maybe we can use Greece as a quick illustration of the 
point.

After all, you could view Greece as being like a family that overspent, got 
itself into debt, and whose members now have to do all the things families do 
when they get in that position: slash spending on inessentials, postpone 
medical care and other big expenses, quit their jobs and reduce their incomes — 
oh, wait."
