    "France heaped pressure on Gordon Brown last night by floating an ambitious plan for a €300 billion (£237 billion) bailout fund to rescue crippled banks across Europe.

    As the world held its breath on the fate of America’s $700 billion bank bailout plan, President Sarkozy was seeking the backing of European leaders for his own lifeboat.

    Mr Brown also faced demands for action from British banks, furious that the Irish Republic’s unilateral guarantee of all bank savings on Tuesday was robbing them of precious deposits. The British Bankers’ Association, which represents high street banks, said that the move was anti-competitive and that it was raising the issue with Dublin. Some banks would like to see the UK respond with its own explicit guarantee."

    i am interested in the fact that surely the entire world is watching what we do... this includes the experts and professionals in the other countries. You'd think they'd learn from our mistakes, make improvements, and perhaps find other or better solutions.

    i guess not eh?

    Oh surely that's the case. Seems like the world is always watching the USA, and learning from their mistakes, making improvements, and perhaps find other or better solutions. Never the other way around. :wink2:
