If the world bank bails out Europe, 17% of that money comes from the good old US of A

I voted no, we give them enough financial aid by providing them military protection.

No. EU countries should not bail out other EU countries according to the Lisbon Treaty. And I thought the USA is broke.

Yep. Look at the last 30 years... it's utterly horrifying.

they are the ones who want to pretend that Credit market overindebtedness is not a problem. Hell they want the consumer to be taking on MORE debt.

You post the least informed information I have ever seen.... Do you believe in magic money printing unicorns and Bernanke money fixing pixie dust?

Fact is much of the last 20 years GDP growth is based on LEVERAGE... with little capital backing it... BUBBLE
