On one side of the Atlantic, we have the United States of America, which triggered yet another debt ceiling disaster last Thursday when the US government's maximum allowable debt reset to just over $20 trillion. Of course, the US national debt is pretty much already at $20 trillion... It's a repeat of what happened in 2015. And 2013. And 2011. Pretty amazing to consider that the "richest" country in the world has to plunder retirement funds in order to keep the lights on.

Greece has had nine different governments since 2009. At least thirteen austerity measures. Multiple bailouts. Severe capital controls. And a full-out debt restructuring in which creditors accepted a 50% loss. Yet despite all these measures GREECE IS STILL IN A DEBT CRISIS.
