The US Treasury (Taxpayer) on the hook for 45% of a $800bil bailout for Italy and Spain.
Time for trials and hangings on the Capitol Steps.
Metaphorically, of course.

By “save” they mean prop it up just a bit longer.

The USA taxpayers take another financial bullet between the eyes, courtesy of its “leaders”.
Be nice if we had leaders who cared as much about the taxpayers as they do their big banker and politician buddies.
Corrupt is as corrupt does.
We’d have better leadership in the USA if we canned elections in favor of a lottery.

"The US Treasury (Taxpayer) on the hook for 45% of a $800bil bailout for Italy and Spain." I wonder if China knows what we are doing with their money?

This is like paying a gamblers debts, it may solve the problem for a couple of months but all you have done is manage to change who they will soon be in debt to.

"Socialize the losses, Privatize the gains."
Unfortunately, under this plan, many of the eventual losses would be socialized to the US.

And we’ll each be compensated with a travel package... I’ll take a 10 day Italy/Spain trip for 4, business class.

Where do you get the 45%? I see no mention of that figure in the article.

Watch oil, transport, gold, and commodity prices.
(And guess what UK lobby is currently holding the Italy bond bag and wants bailed? One that calls itself an “industry”? The same ones on the receiving end of Phony-Care in th US?)

Debt is not going to “bail out” any nation running a trade deficit.
It doesn’t work that way.
A nation has to make things, then export those things.
Has to. A nation will not grow by borrowing. Never.
