Do any of you trade stocks or anything of the sort? Go to school for economics and finance? You sound horribly misinformed. You guys forget S&P said they were considering downgrading nearly every Eurozone country and bank a couple weeks back? I know how it's all calculated, and I know the numbers. It's more socialist there and there are more social programs to help the unemployed there than the USA has, thus the stigma of being unemployed here is much worse, because its more unusual.
I don't see it as worse than it is. I know exactly what my money is doing there and I read about it all day every single day. The Eurozone countries are hurting bigtime sans Germany. I don't care about the rest of Europe because they don't make a dent globally in the economy compared to the others.
And where were you when S&P downgraded the USA and Moody's threatened to? Except S&P were off in their calculations by 2 trillion. It's fair because they don't have an allegiance towards any country. They only care about money.
BOOM! FACE KICK!
