    Europe's economy is FUCKED. Who do YOU blame?

    Since we've had all this conversation the past few months about who to blame for the US financial crisis? Whom do you blame for Europe's problems?

    "The UK, Germany and Spain will fall into recession the European Commission has predicted. Brussels said the three countries would see two negative quarters of economic growth in a row"

    "Data showed the region's economy shrank by 0.2% between April and June - the bloc's first decline since its creation in 1999. "

    "STOCKHOLM: Governments across Europe scrambled to save failing banks on Sunday, working largely on their own a day after leaders of the continent?s four biggest economies called for tighter regulation and coordinated response to the global meltdown."

    5 banks in 7 european countries had to be rescued in the past week.

    Germany just announced they are guaranteeing bank deposits.

    The Euro has fallen more than 20% in a short period of time.

    i could go on. it's a real mess there too.

    who do YOU blame?

                              yes and no alot of the ceo dudes are psychopaths...a normal brain functioning properly should be able to understand and decide not to engage in unethical practices...this is pretty much a direct quote from a psychologist i spoke with the other day...truth or not i couldn't tell ya but she sounded pretty convincing

                                                Europe will fall in to recession faster and harder than the United States. It will also take longer for Europe to dig its way back out. This is not the fault of the United States. This is the fault of Europe. Own your own problems.

                                                  Hello stupid people, the European banks are getting owned since they have done business with American banks and cant get back their money. But most of the problem is a credit crisis.
                                                  Suffering arises from attachment to desires.
                                                  Suffering ceases when attachment to desire ceases.

                                                            I blame PANIC... this is for a large reason EU is failing.
                                                            Second, I blame USA for doing such a stupid thing that affects the rest of the world she is trading and dealing with. Then again, EU falling down is good for my coins.
                                                            Between 22 Sep and 6 ocotber i saved myself a whooping 51$ on epass exchange... I am not suffering, cause i never moved from $ to EU sponsors when the panic started.
                                                            So i do not blame myself i can sleep on this.

                                                              George Bush?

                                                              Seriously, you can´t find a particular person to be responsible for the economy for a country, let alone for the world.

                                                              Take the US real estate market as an example. European banks jumped on the wagon and tried to earn money with high risk investments. It worked for some time, but as the name "high risk" implies, it doesn´t work any longer. Now it pays back, in the US as well as in Europe.

                                                              It´s easy to blame Bush or Merkel - she´s the German woman chancellor - or anybody else, but that would be short-sightedly acted.

                                                              Most important thing today is to stabilize the economy worldwide and that can´t be done by mutual recriminations.

                                                                The biggest Swedish bank dropped 50&#37; in worth because of It's loss in the US. I'd say they can blame themselves. The US does have a very big (too big) affect on Sweden's economy though that's for sure.

                                                                      main problem in the banking world right now were the complicated constructions that were seen as advanced banking techniques / developed markets

                                                                      the so called undeveloped markets will not be in trouble for the simple reason they actually played around with money they had . . . not with borrowed money that was borrowed from some other dude .. who never had the money in the first place BUT he had some piece of paper stating that some other dude somewhere has that money and its his . . BUT that other dude didnt really have the money he just had an idea to get that money .. hahah . .something in the line of that

                                                                      many banks using many complicated construction . . in the end they all collapsed and there is a big mess

                                                                      dont worry though . . nobody is going to die of starvation in our parts of the world

                                                                                          inflation in europe is based on high oil prices / >> high oil prices are based on the Iraq war and general world unstability / >> and that is based on US actions


                                                                                          I hope you have been enlightended

All the greedy European bankers who put so much of their business in the USA coz for years it was the most profitable. The USA have their own problems and now Europe does. Its a domino effect but its not entirely the fault of the USA. Greed is the biggest problem here.
