You have to admit, Nancy Pelosi and her gang did mess things up.

I may never forgive myself but have to admit the euroscum are correct.

Are they going to show us how to get 9% unemployment before a financial crisis?

Let’s hope we unintentional taxpayer investors see a huge return on our money. We can celebrate by spending more on social programs like the ones in Euroland.

The Euros were waiting for us to throw money at them as a reward for them bad mouthing us all the time. Notice that the markets didn’t respond positively until they got off their butts and did something after America led the way.

That must have been the shortest depression ever; I seriously doubt it is over, it is going to be much more than just a wake-up call and a socialist bonanza.

I don’t think they will get any arguments from those of us at FR.

That said, they can bite me.

Interesting Euroweanies. I as an American was surprised to know that Continental Europe had very limited FDIC like bank/checking account backup. The most, to my understanding was $20,000 Euros. This means that the Eurobanks were more heavily extended than American banks.

I think the markets have the U.S. written off as to be so heavily in debt that they would never be able to come up with the money for their bailout. That’s why the American bailout didn’t cut it.

OTH the Euros saying they guarantee the interbank loans injects real trust in the markets. This bailout works and drags the U.S. out of it as well.

[lonestar67]

Wait, europe is blaming the US for its troubles?

I am glad we have news organizations to report these unexpected gems of truth.

[Billthedrill]

We'll see whose plan seems to work the best and hopefully learn from it. But the people responsible for messing up the world's economy are those who extended credit where they shouldn't and those who participated in unstable and unpredictable financial instruments. That isn't the fault of any one country.

There's a name for people who mix nationalism and banking. "Paupers."

“For years, Swiss scientists have blithely created genetically modified rice, corn and apples. But did they ever stop to consider just how humiliating such experiments may be to plants?”

Terrible journalism. E.g. factual errors: Not Peer Steinbrueck, but rather Frank-Walter Steinmeier will challenge Merkel for chancellor next year.

“The 43-year-old wanted to withdraw 500,000 Icelandic krona — a sum worth about €4,000 just 2 months ago — from her private savings account and another $60,000 from her dollar account. “I want to take my money home,” she says. “I don't believe a single word the government is telling us anymore. We just get false information.”

[Drill Thrawl]

Hey Europe,

Why don’t you just give us back the 670 BLN we inject into your markets in the past week.

Yeah, I didn’t think so.
