BRICS is not doing this because of the love for EU but to protect their interest. EU is a large economic block and if that goes down the impact in the BRICS economies too will be hard. China is giving 43b which it pledged in April and the other countries India, Brazil and Russia are contributing 10b each.

The question is will this prevent or delay the collapse unless EU changes its behavour. This is one reason Canada and USA has refused to act at the current time.

I see a lot of sudden changes in American way of life. People are becoming more serious and thoughtful, especially about the way they spend. Companies are becoming very strategic. Most of the companies took the liberty to get rid of deadwood. Many of those who have jobs have take it for granted. But those who were rehired after lay-offs etc. are really determined to give 100%. So companies are becoming more and more competitive. So life is becoming harder for slackers and they will remain poor without freebies (so more unemployment % as long as they refuse to work). Those who work hard are enjoying the cake with icing. At the moment, lot of companies are hiring, but not many qualified applicants. Both private and public sector got rid of many unwanted workers and now functioning like a well oiled machine compared to 2-3 years ago. Obama did a really good job and USA will peak again in another 3-4 years, but not to go down again for at least another generation.

You need to work in the field to be a good farmer and to understand what is all about farming. watching couple of youtube videos will make you supposedly a good farmer, but in Farmville.
