It may have started in the US, but it surely is the fault of the EU countries' banks who thought buying US debt as an asset was a smart idea. Look at China. They were smart enough not to mess with it and they're not having to deal with toxic assets....

Rumors have begun about countries leaving the Euro.... I don't know how founded they are, but it seems to me that all is not peachy in Europe....

I was born in Spain and lived there for nearly half of my life. I have most of my familiar roots still in Spain and I consider myself more Spanish than American, so this is not a US vs. EU discussion for me. I'm still trying to figure this country out (United States)....
