When a country is teetering on the brink of finicial crisis,  it's not too hard for ordinary people to observe that the good days have been scattered to the winds. They can observe that fact that the unemployment rate increase on and on. Besides, because of lacking their daily bread, more and more people tend to resort to arms. and secens of horror and infamy appear more frequently.

The rich also find it hard to go through these days. Even the most adventurous investors steadfast in "things will go better" can only find that no matter what measures they take, their wish of get big money will go down the tube. And there is no prophey that  the golden times will come back. Instead, people predict that the society will go worse and worse.
