As for America...We allowed the derivatives to come into play and no one, not even the financial wizards, knew how badly it would be abused. It's sad when the old head of the federal reserve ( Greenspan ) had the audacity to say he knew there was a potential for problems but didn't think the banking institutions would abuse the market. The U.S. government holds a large share of the blame but the rest of the world joined in on the greed fest...now we get to pay for it.

I hope the stand by Thailand doesn't backfire with job losses though. <abbr><em>Mikes last blog post..<a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/TheTeflDon/~3/533845471/coconut-surprise.html" rel="nofollow">Coconut Surprise.</a></abbr></em> Talen I totally agree particularly about the US government, I know they are not to blame for all the worlds woes, but they must shoulder some responsibility.
