WestVirginiaRebel Posted December 2, 2010 Share Posted December 2, 2010 CNBC:The United States would be ready to support the extension of the European Financial Stability Facility via an extra commitment of money from the International Monetary Fund, a U.S. official told Reuters on Wednesday."There are a lot of people talking about that. I think the European Commission has talked about that," said the U.S. official, commenting on enlarging the 750 billion euro ($980 billion) EU/IMF European stability fund. "It is up to the Europeans. We will certainly support using the IMF in these circumstances." "There are obviously some severe market problems," said the official, speaking on condition of anonymity. "In May, it was Greece. This is Ireland and Portugal. If there is contagion that's a huge problem for the global economy." The remarks foreshadow a visit to Europe this week by a U.S. Treasury envoy who is expected to visit Berlin, Madrid and Paris to hold talks on the ramifications of the debt crisis. ________Oh, this is a great idea...

pollyannaish Posted December 2, 2010 Share Posted December 2, 2010 Sigh. This kind of thing...What drives me crazy....I think we should... Sigh. Nevermind. These past couple of years have rendered me incapable of rational thought and therefore relatively speechless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
