          600 billion quids worth. That's bigger than most would have guessed.

          My question was, does it solve it or just kick it down the road, like they've been doing with Greece?

                I thought they said Spain was too big to be bailed out?

                Anyhow, that infamous can must be getting sick of being kicked down the metaphorical road.

                  For comparison:

                  US TARP bank bailout USD 700bn
                  Spain and Italy bailout ~ USD 940bn

                    Some bastards are going to get really rich out of this mess.

                    Hope they're using our software.
