Best reply I heard was an interview with a new graduate.

"We will just do what we have always done when the government fucks-up - we emigrate!"

In a nutshell, that's it. People have a sense of resignation on the whole thing. There is very little prospect of things improving any time soon. The choices would appear to be a) adjust to a lower standard of living, or b) get out.

In France the corresponding response would be:

"We will just do what we have always done when the government fucks-up - bring the country to a standstill!"
