World money is so entwined that anyone who thinks a single country stands alone hasn't been paying attention. It's bad all over. Not just the Euro and the dollar.

I heard an interesting radio ad from a gold-buyer on KOMO last night, the commentator (John Carlson, I think) was doing the commercial: something about the dollar being weak, but one good thing about the economy is that the value of gold is so high. INCREDIBLE!

What they're really saying is that your money is close to being worthless, your home is worth less than what you owe on it, but bring your last bit of gold to us so we can give you worthless paper money for it. Jeez!
