He can be repetitive (it’s what people do when they have a clear idea, but it doesn’t seem to resonate adequately), but from the perspective of a European-American POV, this was pretty clear.
This crisis seems to me to be largely contrived. Those most interested in returning to a laissez faire, feudalistic/social darwinistic world, maneuvered us into a crisis.

Drown the government in a bathtub has become a universal desire of those with the real power, in the US and abroad. The only difference between Europe and the US is that in the US, a large proportion of people have been brainwashed into actually believing their tripe, while in Europe it is politically expedient to hide the agenda and to paint the anti-safety net as a victim of a crisis that cannot be controlled.
It’s not from the likes of a Goldman-Sachs administration that we will find a solution to this, and it certainly isn’t the Merkles of the world that will lead us back to the right path.
