that is a stupid sentiment, for one simple reason; you cannot buck the markets when you require 10% of your annual spending from market lending.

markets take a risk in lending to government, so they charge an interest rate, if they hold debt to which they have little confidence the government intends to repay, then they are right to dump it on some other market player with a higher tolerance for risk.

i will support punitive measures against market speculation ONLY when governments get their own affairs in order and stop spending well in excess of the revenue.
