EU Readies Coordinated Bank Aid Push

“We are determined to do everything necessary to ..." [...blah blah blah blah...] the commission’s president, Jose Barroso, told reporters in Brussels today. “Close coordination at European level is essential.”

And why, praytell, should the world (via the IMF) sit around and let you socialize your local debt to it?
