How many governments are going to run into the situation where the government needs more money but the people don't have more to give? I am suspecting quite a few.

The question is, does the gvernenment just keep on trying to squeeze or does it just admit there is not enough money and only spend what it can get at the current tax rate. Do not be surprised if a couple of governments around the world squeeze to hard and get replaced.
