0:00.0 | Hello. We are diving into the wreckage. We're six point something. I'm going to |
0:17.8 | provisionally say seven but I think there's two six point fives. We're so prolific we can't keep track at this point in time or |
0:27.4 | that's another way of saying the debt crisis has been so long that it's |
