The Crisis Taken to the Extreme

I read an article about a man that deliberately set fire to two cashpoints machines. His desired outcome was to be sent to jail. He explained that he only had 15 euros to his name, he didn't have a home, and he had no job. In his eyes, prison was much better then the life he was living. The court suspended the case and will most likely not send the man to jail. This article really put the intensity of the crisis into perceptive for me. Just in my spanish household itself, three out of four people are jobless. This article also lead me to think about what will need to be done to get out of the crisis. And I wonder if the change of office will make much of a impact on changing the economy.
