In graphics: Eurozone in crisis

[mEDITate-OR:
see that what was in your past may be 'incoming' for your future...

These very interesting maps/charts/data are from the BBC.
{Go there & see the LARGE images}

And, as they say, and you can see, "all the pigs are not equal"

This may not seem/appear relevant to you..., now...
however, China has taken notice.
Europe is NOW a larger trading partner with China than U.S.
with the EURO in trouble China stalled un-pegging the Yuan.

What other reports today tell U.S. is that China's manufacturing sector is declining - probably due in part to the decline in exports to Europe. But, China is seeing a manufacturing recovery. That is very good news - for them and for U.S.

Ah so..., while you were not looking, things started to bet better - in Europe & China.
"Where does that leave U.S.?", you might - economically - ask.
