It's The Economy Stupid: Slovakia Votes Against EU Bailout

Okay, despite the market’s optimism throughout the day, Slovakia’s parliament voted against another round of EU bailout money.  Pundits think the opposition party opposed the EU bailout expansion in order to force an election on a new government.  Once a new election is set it is believed that the Slovak parliament will then approve the EU bailout expansion. 

 

Or so they say…
