Just who is in a maes?
At least the Germans and Fins, to name a couple, are against funding Greeks and they are in the open about it. That is what creates some of the mess because the media feed off the conflict. That is negative pr for the Euro.

In the good old US of A, there is no state to say no to extravagance. Joblessness reports are constantly revised, with other statistics, to cover the full bite. Ron Paul is no state but just an individual who is not listened to by the media. The very media that are mostly controlled or scared off by you know who.

So my point is:
Just because ordinary Joe in the US is still ignorant of the facts the US is not in a mess, or in less of?
I say US is in just a big a mess and on road to much greater because no effort is done to limit the uncontrolled spending.

At least in Europe the Germans are trying to force a solution.
