I expect a European bail-out means more billions will be added to USA debt, because we will fork over more tax revenues to keep our good bankster buddies in Europe and in the IMF in business, so they will buy our worthless bonds. Then later when we collapse, Europeans can get the IMF to lend us funds at ridiculous rates and force us to curb spending on things like, oh, military adventurism in far-off places and Social Security for little old ladies. Meanwhile, it just keeps going around and around . . . When the music stops, will there be ANY chairs? After reading articles like this, I prefer to do my dancing outside of the circle and a little closer to the exit, thanks.

We have to take into account that even if Spain´s budget deficit is similar to the U.S. and sligthly lower than the U,K.´s, Spain´s Public Debt is 10 points lower than both the U.S. or the U.K. I was watching now an interview with an economist called James Harold. He is completely wrong because Spain´s Public Debt is not only lower than Britain´s or America´s, but even lower than Germany´s. The problem in Spain comes from private debt, the same as in the U.K.

Who is this nice guy which has €750 billion to borrow to EU? Where is this money com from? May be these are the same guys who perform crises every five years on regular basis? This is ridiculous, EU is the wealthiest union in the world. EU has man power, paid taxes, productions. EU even has money for the two wars! And then crises after crises, after crises. It looks like EU load all their money to off-shore account then made a crises and borrow money from themselves to themselves. Who can prove that it is not a case will deserve this package of €750 billion. All these stories about crises are very fishy. Don’t you think?
