This won't teach us shit. One thing about us Americans, we are greedy fucks. We want everything and will finance the shit out of it to be able to afford it.

I don't think that has anything to do with why some Euros don't like us. They can be just as greedy as Americans. Greed is global.

I think some people will learn from this but as a whole, no. This needs to be much more painful for a large part of the population to change.
