Austerity, another term for Trickle Down imposed @ 100x speed. Stripping the middle and poor classes and lavishing the 1% with extra income they don't need. Then there's a snowball effect where the 1% get even more influential and demand even more breaks while their MSM poodles scream about the greedy population and how much they need to give up their "entitlements" for the nation to survive.

Its happening everywhere. Its just easier to see in an accelerated version like in Greece. Disgusting.
