Given the pressures on the two governments, and the downright dismal confidence in their economy by the working people, it shouldn't be surprising that their domestic equities and financial institutions are currently having some problems. I think that whatever the two nations decide to do, it will provide an interesting lesson for the rest of the world, either providing a road map for recovery, or giving a prime example of what not to do. No way of telling for sure which way things will go, or how things will be perceived there may be a chance that we will see an increasing percentage of the younger "old europeans" voting with their feet... across the pond...

Your posting is accurate. Need to add that the French and Germans depend a lot on exports. Asia, Middle East, LATAM or Africa are in trouble, they are in trouble. Trading nations -as Schumpter put- are much less warlike. This one of the reasons why they ae much careful on their international relations as compared to the US which doesn't depend as much on export markets and can engage in adventures.
