The news I watch talks about it everyday.
To be fair though... I pretty much only watch CNBC. Nothing on between 4-8 Am on the West coast really.
As for "Solve" it depends on your definition of solve.
It's all a matter of forcing irresponsible countries to cap spending at +10% of revenue or so, while actually enforcing it and having regulators check out all the "budget tricks" countries use to hide how much they're really spending.
Ironiclly, europe essentially needs a "Balanced budget ammendment" like everyone was making fun people in the tea party for suggeting in the US. Funny part is a lot of Europian leaders agree.
Though while this DOES stop the crisis, it will likely put Europe in at least half a decade of recession and in generally puts the world closer to a "United States of Europe."
Anyone with a pretty decent knowledge of US history could of told you this was going to happen too.

I'm pretty sure that out of the 1000 or so retarded tea party ideas, this was not laughed at.
I call myself an independant leaning liberal, but I've seen the balanced budget amendments, and debt-term limits for elected officials when running a deficeit, or capped earnings, etc, and those all sound perfectly rational. I don't know anyone who really disagrees with those.
It's almost everything else they have to say that is laughed at.

No, that was actually one of the most made fun of things. I'd just guess you weren't paying much attention to the coverage.
People called it idealistic, generally unrealistic and stupid because it didn't allow more spending in times of emergency, or if it did, would need specific framework and political action that would delay response times. (Which could be solved by just... running a surplus and saving for disasters but whatever.)
