Every Monday, The Takeaway looks at the big stories that will dominate headlines in the week ahead. The euro zone may be on the brink of an agreement that will set into motion budget crunching measures throughout the continent. The GOP is heading into the home stretch in Iowa. And Congress looks to possibly pass a jobs bill. On the program is Maggie Haberman, senior political writer for Politico; and Charlie Herman, economics editor for The Takeaway and WNYC Radio.
