Not in America maybe but the US has been putting pressure on the EU to sort out the EURO crisis which is globally linked.

I did say that this wasn't breaking news!!!!

I take it from your enlightened position that all is well in the USA ?

You asked whether or not Goldman Sachs was trying to torpedo the Euro and linked an article written in Jan 2010 that had a quote saying what they did was not illegal.

So maybe you can use your superior euro enlightening powers and prove Goldman was trying to torpedo the Euro..

Or atleast link an article that doesn't torpedo your own thread title.

Goldman went to great trouble to show the Greek Gov how they could hide the loans from the EU authorities.

Great powers can make anything look legal...Iraq for instance.

When you have the best legal eagles on your side (those that write the laws) then proof is nigh impossible. Its all about the money.

I don't disagree.

However, Goldman didn't force Greece into spending more money than they could afford.

Or Ireland.. Or Portugal.. Or Italy... Or Spain...

The EU is a sinking ship.

The Tory revolt in the House of Commons is proof of that..

Cameron should man up and support a referendum..

I agree with you regarding Goldman not forcing Greece into spending the Dollars it was lent. All the rest were spending Euros remember...what were Goldman doing in Europe????????

The British are waiting in the middle awaiting the outcome. The Brits will be the King Makers again. After all The City of London has all the major HQ of the Big US banks.

"The European financial crisis presents the most serious risk today to global recovery and the prospects for US exports and American jobs."
