How Bad Can It Get?

Yahoo moved a Time.com article entitled, "The Euro Crisis: How Much Worse Can It Get?" You're kidding right? This is the type of question that gets asked by someone who is ignorant of history, whose event horizon goes back a year or two and whose ability to track trends logically into the future extends maybe 15-20 minutes. Let's talk about the inter-war period in much of Europe in the 1920s and 1930s: breadlines, worldwide economic depression, huge social dislocation. The picture shows money being swept up in the streets because it is worthless. All of these conditions set the stage for the rise of Fascists into power. Remember Hitler and Mussolini? That's how bad it can get! Economies aren't toys to be used and abused. Real people get real hurt. Get a clue!
