US saves Europe.

Postby Greed and Death » Wed Nov 30, 2011 8:53 pm

http://online.wsj.com/article/SB1000142 ... ADStoryTop


The federal reserve, Central bank of Japan, Central bank of Canada, Central bank of the UK, Central bank of Switzerland, and the European central bank have stepped into to save the financial systems of Europe.

The US is injecting liquidity into European markets with short term low interest rate loans.

So does this mean on my next trip to Europe I get more ass kissing ?


Personally I do not think we should have gotten involved. Trying to bailout an economy bigger then our own doesn't make much sense.

What does NSG think ?

Who's going to if we don't? Seriously?

It's in the world's best interest that the Euro economy doesn't collapse.

And, Euro members... I expect my ass-kissing to commence post-haste.

Come on. It's not like the US alone can take the entire credit for this one. Canada and Japan also pitched. So Obama isn't the only Batman in this.

I say they can pay back this debt by heavily discounting tourist stuff for Americans, I say 50% off Airfare, Hotels, Food, Museums and stuff.

Oh and a Law in the EU that says citizens of the EU must address all Americans by the title Most Glorious Master (or Mistress).

Greece has the Euro, but it should not because it has been senidng false reports about its economy for years. The US started the crisis first back in 2008, they are to blame.

Germany saved the GM bach then, because the US drove threaten to desroy the world economy. And how do they thanks Germany and China?

That kinda fits the Canadian mindset. Really just the more classy servant of the US.

It's nice to see nations horrendously in debt handing out cash to doomed projects. The Eurozone might change somewhat, but the chance of them adapting the hard changes needed to save it, under a largely quasi-socialist leadership that did not see the problem, whereas many sane, lesser, local politicians saw it miles away. Is about the same as Greece beating the collective GDP of Germany next year.

Speaking of Germany, Angela just announced the possibility of Germany pulling out of the Euro. Which would essentially be a death sentence.
