A lot of the economies are contracting and these contractions are going to be temporary. There has been a lot of shocks in the global economy.
When the world`s biggest debtor, the United States is broke and we can not pay our bills, certainly there are going to be some disruptions. The governments around the world need to understand that.
Instead they are all panicking and acting irresponsibly which is one of the reasons the US has maintained its strength which has really been supporting our economy.
Imagine how much worse the economy would be right now, imagine how much lower the stock market would already be if foreigners were not pouring trillions of dollars into our bond market and into our economy.
If it is already weak, imagine how would it be without all that support.
