hypercrites

I should add that the global market has initiated a concerted effort to use U.S. economic playbook in order to usurp U.S. market supremacy only to discover--as we Americans have--that U.S. market supremacy involves fraud.  The world market got defrauded by Wall Street and thus there is no escape for either the U.S. or Europe--we're all in the same "toxic assets" (read "moneypit") boat.
