Photos: The Global Economic Crisis

A look at how an American made crisis has shaken economies the world over and global leaders are struggling to clean up the mess.

Wall Street and Main Street aren't the only places struck with financial fear. Around the globe, economies large and small are reeling from United States' financial crisis. Once stable European banks may be headed for failure or a government bailout. Meanwhile, emerging markets are watching their stocks zig-zag wildly as jittery investors try to make sense of Washington's every move. Here is a look at how an American made crisis has shaken markets the world over.

    Auto workers are talking to the wrong people. The politicians are not the ones in power people. It is the banks or i should say the Federal Reserve

    This story really kills me. And you have a PRIVATELY owned bank like the Federal Reserve who cannot track or explain where 9 trillion dollars went?

    Why hasn't ANYBODY audited the PRIVATELY owned Federal Reserve? They are owned privately just like Wells Fargo. Why was the Federal Reserve not in the stress test?

    Where is the missing 9 TRILLION dollars?

    Here is video of one senate meeting you wont find in the media because this information would cause hysteria.

    I used to laugh at these black helicoptor people. I am not laughing anymore.

    I hope all these countries come over here to settle this and in the process wipe out all of our "leaders". Bring the war hereto those that deserve it. I'd love to help.
