Oh come on, it is a good thing. The stock market rallied 490 points on the news.

We are not bailing out Europe, we are transferring more wealth to the top 1% of the WORLD. Europe will exist if we bail it out or not, just as Argentina, Iceland and a host of other countries exist despite bankruptcy or default. It is not Greece or Italy or Spain, it is parasites sitiing in offices counting their gold. We should chnge our currency and not exchange more than $1 Million for any person

Aren't most of us the top 1%? Is money getting transferred to us?

It is giving all those gains, starting this coming monday.

This whole liquidity injection thingy is just making the process much harder, pain will be felt one way or another. I think that these European countries are trying to use this money to keep the socialist gravy train going....money down a rathole.

If this thread isn't manipulative I don't know what is.
The US is loaning money to Europe which it got by borrowing money from China.
If Europe is so desperate that it needs the nearly bankrupt US to bail them out then god help us.

I don't see the problem. Greece defaults and we get new beachfront vacation property on the cheap.

Default Uh, ok..


Maybe you should get a dictionary and look up the term "bail out". And, you do realize it was not only us ( the U.S. ) who did this, correct?
Europe isn't in bad shape. Greece ( 2% of Europe's economy ) is in bad shape and a couple of other small countries. The only reason it seems so "bad is because they are all in the same boat, since they all use the Euro. So, the 2% cause problems for the other 98%, but if you have not noticed, we are still doing ****ty ourselves. The unemployment rate just dropped because they "stopped counting" 320 000 people because those people "stopped looking" for a job. What a joke. They are still looking..
Once WE are doing better, YOU can start complaining about whoever you like.
