So it is as clear as it can be that the current dire position of the Greek economy is the result of a huge mistake by the Troika. The size of the collapse in the Greek economy is similar to the fall in Irish output during the Great Irish Famine of 1845-53, and while the suffering in the latter is obviously of a different order, the attitude of some in the Eurozone is as misconceived as most English politicians during the famine. Of that event they say 'God sent the blight but the English made the famine'. In the future the Greeks may justly say ‘our politicians caused the deficit but the Troika made the depression’.

Ya know, to have "toxic austerity" forced opon you, you've got to be doing some pretty stupid things financially to get to that point. Just saying.

Could someone knowledgeable explain exactly what Bernie Sanders is proposing with his "break up too-big-to-fail banks" proposal? I don't really understand what he's suggesting. What does "breaking up" entail, exactly? What happens after they are "broken up?"

People think Millennials are going to be screwed financially but it's really Xers, for all the reasons you stated--and as you also said, most Xers know it, too.

Xers are also relatively smaller than Boomers and Millennials so they could also have less power at the polls throughout most of their lifetime.

Just bury it out back.
