i wonder what the Chinese version of Friends will look like

China has it spot on, the first commentator I’ve seen to correctly identify the root cause of the problems, both here and in the U.S.
Just about every household in the country has to budget to live within its means, yet that’s something that seems beyond the comprehension of our elected representatives….

So they have decided to issue Eurobonds to interfere in other "poorer countries" economies is the best option. So basically give a poor country some Eurobonds and then take control of that country sell off it’s resources and then what? This is yet another way of invading a country, so rather than using army’s it’s a economic war they are declaring. This is just ridiculous. Stop the markets it’s a TMR situation for both the US and eurozone. Total Market Restructure is the only answer. The system is broken stop trying to put a band-aid on a broken leg.

The Chinese have played the last decade or so brilliantly. The US right wing market fundamentalists, bankers and idiots like Greenspan and Bush have lead an all too willing America down the path of its own decline.
But the Chinese have been right behind giving the US that extra push that was needed. US companies want to destroy the power of organised labor? Well China is there to provide outsourced labor at slave wages and slave conditions to do it. US banks want to get American citizens in debt up to their eyeballs to keep them as debt slaves for the rest of their life? Well China will lend them the money to do it, and send them the goods to spend their money on. China is well on the way to overthrow US supremacy without a shot being fired. All China needed was the co-operation of the US companies, bankers and right wing billionaires to do it. Until And until China lets the Yuan float freely on the currency markets they have no right to demand anything.

That’s an interesting comment from George Osborne given that Britain isn’t even in the Euro and is one of the more ant-EU countries. What’s the benefit for Britain if France and Germany get to be the de facto rulers of countries they have underwritten?

So England wants Germany and France to take over poor countrys.Its time our goverment pulled out of europe and the euro asap.Whats the point of staying in it if we as a country dont have control of our day to day running.Is it because the doller is failing and the euro is dead that england sees the pound as the one that can take over the world.

What country was kicked out of the g8?

How come it’s mostly the catholic countries that behaved irresponsibly and lived on credit?
