While driving home last night, I had the miserableexperience of listening to a financial journalist being interviewed about the anemic growth numbers that were just released.
They just want to get the hell out of there, out of sight, to alleviate the sting of ridicule, and then they want to forget about the entire miserableexperience.
The big-borrowing countries around the edge of the euro zone suffered a near-death experience in 2010, and they will be in a pretty miserable state in 2011 as austerity measures bite and households come to terms with their high debts and poor prospects.
