The crisis thus far...

The head of the European Union has described President Obama's plans to spend the United States out of recession as "the road to hell".

Great Britain is running out of money.

China wants to dump the U.S. dollar as the de facto global currency.

And now the United States Postal Service is beginning to beg for a bailout.

What's that Chinese curse? "May you live in interesting times", or something.
