USA And Europe: Same Problems, Same Solutions

Dr. Michael LaitmanIn the News (from Euronews): “The rebound of the world’s markets as this week began is far from reassuring, experts warn. Across the Atlantic, the US and EU each say the other should hurry up and pull itself together, or else. In a tit-for-tat fear game, there are elections involved.

“To quote Obama: ‘So they’re going through a financial crisis that is scaring the world and they’re trying to take responsible actions, but those actions haven’t been quite as quick as they need to be.’

“Barack Obama is already re-election-campaigning, and several European countries are heating up for elections, for instance Spain, France, Germany and Italy. Admitting a share of responsibility for the debt crisis is not anyone’s idea of campaign-winning. In all these countries mentioned, public surveys are not looking good for the governments currently ruling the roost.

“Another thing the Americans and Europeans have in common is that their public debts are out on a ledge without a safety net — internationally exposed — each with portions of public debt held by foreign banks.

“No wonder each side wants the other to put its houses in order, and why EU countries of varying good-house-keeping skills want each other to prove their mettle.

“Nobel economics laureate Paul Krugman said: ‘If you actually look at actual actions, as opposed to rhetoric, there’s not so much difference between the United States and Europe: and so in terms of the actual policy, this convergence is unfortunately a convergence on the wrong things: fiscal austerity, hard money… but the result will be disastrous on both sides of the Atlantic.’”

My Comment: Same problems, same solutions. But everyone is trying to shift the blame onto the other. Everyone understands that there is no solution. We will wait until they turn to Kabbalah.

  1. In your comment you state: “Everyone understands that there is no solution. We will wait until they turn to Kabbalah.” I would have to disagree based on what I see happening in Oklahoma City (where I live), where the economy is “stable” with an unemployment rate of only 5.6%. People are totally oblivious or don’t care about what is happening to the masses around the world. The evangelicals/fundamentalists will continue to pray to Jesus believing that he and/or god will save them from any wrath that might creep their way. Kabbalah is a work that they may have heard about during an interview with Madonna on some prime time television program!
