Muzzies and other political constituents. Euro biggies have to play Santa Clause. Besides, some of them go into their hefty salary/bonus package. I heard that officials at Brussels are paid really well.

One of the heavily cited reasons around here is the Community Reinvestment Act. I don't doubt that as a cause, government meddling will usually come to no good. But did Germany have it's own version? Did they have a housing bubble? Banks are failing in Britain, as well, that must be related.

It seems likely to me that the same forces causing our problems could be found to be at work in Germany & Britain, as well. What are they? Anyone?
