Derivatives have been described by Warren Buffet as `financial weapons of mass destruction'. A crisis in the derivatives market would badly impact the entire western financial system and could cause contagion.
In March we wrote with regards to the fact that Deutsche Bank had not passed the Fed's stress test, "Equally troubling, is the fact that Deutsche Bank, who have derivatives exposure of over a whopping _54 trillion - almost nine times the GDP of the entire Eurozone - has serious issues with risk management."

Greece is a case study in what to expect within other countries when they drink the socialism Kool-Aid. Greece just happens to be farther to the socialist left than other EU countries and the symptoms can no longer be ignored.
Greece used to own the ship building industry and ship building made Greece wealthy, that is until the socialists taxed ship building out of the country.
Why is Greece and EU important: Look at what is happening in Western Europe and you will see exactly what Obama and his socialists have in store for the USA.
