There is no good economic news coming from Europe. I just hope Angela and her spanky boys don't talk the rest of the continent into choking off government spending. That will be the surest way to pull the region into a new depression and probably us along with you. It happened once before

I agree. I think that the best way to solve a debt problem is to spend more, not less. Personally, when I see a fire raging, my first impulse is to pour gasoline on it in order to extinguish it.
