4. Very astute analysis. Thank you!!!

It makes for interesting times, to be sure.

I think it's to find 'something' and also to reject some things that have been pushed for years now. Austerity measures - whether the austerity named measures in Europe or the unnamed but still austerity driven ones here - haven't worked. Instead they have driven a low level to seethng discontent as they keep chipping away at areas that make people feel one what secure, especially in terms of income and potentil retirement (both in actual and constantly threatened cuts to pensions, Social Security and diversion of people's retirement funding to private accounts that make more money for financiers than for the people trying to save).
