oh...those udders are now shredded. The milk of human kindness has soured, and is drawing flies. When will the US stop squeezing the hometown udder, and wrenching it on an hourly basis in order to support the rest of the globe ?

Fortunately for us, wiser minds prevailed and still are.

Watch gold continue to go higher and higher. Invest in shotguns and canned goods and some good farmland. They bought themselves some breathing room with the trillion dollar bailout but they'll still have to slash spending and you may see entire governments topple from that.

Several other countries have jumped in as well offering lines of credit to Europe.

Federal Reserve opens credit line to Europe - Yahoo! News (http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20100510/ap_on_bi_ge/us_europe_financial_crisis_fed - broken link)
Like in the good old days when we loaned out money and collected intersest form the rest of the world.

Hey, spending helps the economy. We should urge them to do more.

Not stupid, just selective in memory. Many conservatives thought what Bush did concerning the bailouts was beyond stupid and irresponsible. You are creating a contradiction from fantasy, we didn't support it then, we don't support it now and it matters not what boob is in office when it is done.

Shuffle the debt around until it lands on someone and no one wants to shuffle anymore.

I wonder who it is going to land on?
