They lied?

Now Hungary joins the PIIGS (Portugal, Ireland, Italy, Greece, and Spain) as 'troubled economies' in Europe.

But the world is aghast because "a previous government lied about the economic situation". Clutch the pearls. Say it ain't so. A government actually put forward something untrue.

While reprehensible (shame on them) can we ever get to the "so I'm not going to trust government" (so we can avoid the shame on me)?

Don't let the Hungary PIIGS eat you.
