Any body else have any laughable consequences of Americans getting what they deserve for their willful ignorance?
You make it sound like Americans follow human nature but the rest of the world doesn't. The only reason citizens of other countries aren't following in jumping off the cliff is because their governments haven't had the luxury of owning the world's reserve currency. When "prosperity" hits Eurozone nations thanks to expansion of easy credit, consumers in said countries will behave just like us.
Its human nature.
