I give a year or so, and governments start doing what they do. Taxing imports, printing debt notes, raising taxes.

Will the Euro last, or will Brussels and the Yuppie princelings tidy up the last remnants of European nation states?

How's China going to take a business slowdown? Time to really grind the Chinese workers into dust to keep the money coming? And will that money be plowed back into US Treasuries, thus making Goldman Sacs, the US Government, and Americans partners in fascists China?

You are right. I am just trying to figure out what combination of 1970's and 1930's we will have or if it will be something new. I think Europe will break apart, but Asia in general will do ok which would help China.

But borrowing more money from China to buy stock in insolvent banks is not a well thought out policy.
