G20 gives 8 days to solve debt crisis
http://www.thetimes.co.uk/tto/news/

The world’s leading economies today ordered Europe to resolve its debt crisis within the next eight days to prevent it dragging down the world economy. In unusually direct language, G20 finance ministers and central bankers said they expected next Sunday’s European Union (EU) summit in Brussels to “decisively address the current challenges through a comprehensive plan”. “Europe needs to get its act together because unless the crisis is put to an end, it will start to affect emerging economies which have enjoyed strong growth,” Jun Azumi, the Japanese Finance Minister, said. His Canadian counterpart, Jim Flaherty, said the risk of a global recession would be dramatically higher if the summit, scheduled for October 23, failed to deliver.

1. G20 wants to boost the IMF bank account


Splits have emerged over suggestions that the IMF’s armoury should be boosted by hundreds of billions of dollars to tackle the debt crisis

One wonders where the hundreds of billions going to come from
with most countries in massive debt?

America?

6. IOW, They Want The German Taxpayers To Bail Out The Insolvent Banks
when Greece defaults. German taxpayers are not going to do this, and they will revolt.

Keep in mind, it's not Greece they want to bail out. It's the banks that have Greek debt on their books that they want to bail out.

7. The American taxpayers already bailed out Dexia once...
Edited on Sun Oct-16-11 01:08 AM by JCMach1
Dexia's debt is actually more than Greece.

Now they want Germany to do it...

Meanwhile, the global elite sells off the profitable bits to each other leaving the debt for the taxpayers.

9. Unlike Americans, The Germans Won't Stand For it
Germany is still a democracy. The voice and will of the people will be heard, and no amount of international banker pressure matters to them. They will pull out of the Euro. They still have their mfg base. Their people save, and they don't have a global military empire to support.

When the insolvent banks finally disappear, Germany will stand as a global super power. My advice is to learn German. I will be doing just that next year.
