Now One Trillion and change. Won't happen of course. The likeliest scenario is more borrowing until that becomes impossible. Then the 'cost-cutting' and asset-stripping to repay will begin. Like Greece, a final neoliberal solution agreed to by social democrats if necessary will be imposed. We will be sold out by our politicians. Oligarchs and banksters will clean up in the endgame.

I wish I knew. As a group, we have failed. The right is winning. The people who should be our strongest supporters are not. The grassroots on the right is stronger because if it. The right has defined what "elite" means and made it a dirty word. Science and education have been delegitimized. We have moments of support as happened with Occupy but we don't seem able to take it anywhere.
It is very discouraging that Paul won but I still believe that Lascaris could be the answer if he gets enough support to overthrow the leadership.
