If you are depressed about things in the USA these days… don’t try to escape the madness by taking a vacation in Europe… you’ll only get MORE DEPRESSED.
Recently, countries like Greece, Ireland, Portugal, Italy, Britain have been grappling with gigantic economic disasters of their own.
Governments are in deep debt… almost bankruptcy. Politicians in those countries are desperately trying to tackle the problem with mixed success (See cartoon above).
Meanwhile, peeved citizens have been revolting against government painful economic remedies, as seen in Ireland this past weekend.
Iceland is in such desperate straits that it is re-drafting its constitution.
Yesterday, the entire country voted to elect 31 individuals, who will make up an assembly to put together a new charter for the island nation. This dramatic action is at least partially influenced by Iceland’s financial crisis in 2008.
Makes you wonder if the United States should consider this, too? If you could change something about the US constitution, what would you change?
