The US Air Force this year awarded Boeing $350 Billion dollars in a single contract to provide 18 flying gas stations (aerial tankers). $350 Billion is greater than the entire "Euro zone economic crisis", it's 100x what it cost to fly Apollo 14. One contract. Is there a Finance Minister or a Congressman who is not completely nuts?

Yes, the crisis is very real. The European Union seems to be reluctant to make the necessary moves to prevent a looming disaster and we're in political gridlock with a group of politicians that are more interested in staying in office than doing what is good for the country. In addition, the rising secondary economies such as Brazil and others are slowing due to the drag of the large countries. It's a real mess.
