The European Sovereign Debt Crisis is a bar of soap on a prison floor and the global economy is standing over it.

It has shattered the Greek, Spanish and Italian economies and threatens to debunk more.

German Chancellor Angela Merkel and French President Nicolas Sarkozy are working together going forward to keep European economies, like Greece, from defaulting on enormous sovereign debts.

These debts were accrued when bankers sold mortgages - for those little red hotels in Monopoly - that borrowers couldn't afford to repay.

Oktoberfest! 6.9 million visitors, 7.5 millions litres of beer, copious amounts of fun!

With the right economic model in the hands of European leaders - the debt crisis would cease and the global economy would rise from recession.
