So what is this writers path to change our path. No “taker” group is going

The write has no cure. The ONLY cure can only come from Americans. But before that happens, unfortunately we might have to experience Greece like conditions first. Spain is on track to follow Greece. Italy will follow Spain. France will follow Italy.

Since these DC hacks are unwilling or incapable of dealing with the tough Choices, the only outcome left is a collapse.

The choices then become either Greece or Argentina.
