If you look at the map of volcanic ash drift from volcano Eyjafjallajokull, it looks like the better part of Europe is taking the brunt. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/8627545.stm
Is this the wrath of God on an economy – the EU – that functions on relatively high taxes?
I have a big credit card debt. I stopped making my payments in August. If I leave the USA and move to Europe will the credit card companies and collection agencies try to find me there? If they find me what will happen? Can they take away my car or other properties, garnish my wages?

I wonder how much a cruise will cost me (economy one) and wich one will be living from uk to sud america?? thanks for your help
For example, stock markets in Asia has dropped, and the UK have recently bailed out their banks.
However, since I’m quite new to the world of economics, how has America or other factors SPECIFICALLY affected the economy around the world?
I ask this as I would like to understand the news, I’ve read news about how bad the economy has been around the world, but I still haven’t figured out WHAT caused this specifically.
Thanks
I would assume France or the UK. Which is more prosperous in terms of thier respected economies, quality of life, average income, and Government protection?
China already surpassed UK in 2005 and Germany in 2007. It has been estimated that China will overtake US by 2020. By 2030, China will already have TWICE as large economy compared to US. Also, India will surpass Japan to become the third largest economy. How do you think the world will be like when all this happens?
Imagine this: three of the five largest economies in the world will be Asian economies, including nr.1 spot. The European Union will probably go between China and US for a “2.place”(it’s not a country but it’s still a common economy)
When China becomes wealthier and wealthier what if they’ll start spending more money on their military? They’re using 2% of their GDP now compared to US using 4% of its GDP. What if China decides to double the spending to 4%? In 2020 when it’s the wealthiest nation?
Nearly ten million people in Britain are out of work – more than six times the official unemployment rate – it was revealed last night.
The ‘hidden army’ of jobless accounts for a quarter of the working-age population.
Critics said the staggering numbers represented a ‘huge pool of wasted talent’ and fuelled concerns about the drain on the economy.

Question – What are your thoughts ?
It seems BOTH USA AND EUROPE HAS HUGE DEBTS. But EUROPE IS WORSE AND EVERDAY, THEY KEEP NEEDING bailouts e,g, greece, IRELAND,UK, spain, portugal, italy, and so forth. THE EURO CAN’T SUSTAIN, and shows signs of weakness.
IN ANY EVENT, WITH TIME, ITS BELIEVE THE USA ECONOMY AND STANDARD OF LIVING WILL OUTLAST EUROPE and euopre will break apart sooner rather tahn later
WHAT DO YOU’LL THINK, WILL USA OUTLAST EUROPE
