    But it ain't over yet and we will hear from them again.  This is only a step in a long process.  The next hurdle is Spain's possible bond downgrade and problems with Italy and its banks.  The EU is fraying on the southern edges.  Unless there is major surprises now, the market has priced it all in, IMHO.  But it is hard to "see" clearly as we sip beer in the Bavarina Alps! :)

    yeah and one day it

    yeah and one day it will be coming to the US, as well as the rioting and protests.  Money doesn't grow on trees, it's inevitable and our debts/entitlements will have to be dealt with eventually.  Promises will have to be broken for some things and people will be up in arms, but again money doesn't grow on trees, there's just not enough of it to to pay for everything, even if you raise taxes to 100% on the rich, there is not enough money for all the future obligations.  

    one day it will come to the US

    tax in on Large ships?     The workers who build the ships in the USA ..   lost their jobs.   Same can happen for small jets.      I forget the Brazilian Company...  that builds small planes... but I bet George Soros has stock in them after todays speech.  Food for thought

    Yeah, they though they could target-tax the rich, and the rich said, I don't gotta buy it here. I can buy it in Norway, save a few bucks.

    We can't take in all

    We can't take in all the FUTURE obligations as today's value; the numbers are big, but future value not PV to present day is misleading.
