At the moment the main ministers for all the large countries in the world are meeting together to discuss some of the world’s problems including the economic problems all of the countries are having at the moment. The French government have been quite touchy about the situation and has said that he will walk out of the talks if they do not come to a satisfactory agreement and plan as to what to do. The French plastic cards, carte plastique in Fench, and credit crunch situation is as bad as everywhere else but the prime minister is working hard to combat the problem and is concerned that other countries are not doing enough.
Every country has a credit problem with plastic cards being blamed but high mortgages, loans and the rising prices and job losses have not helped things. Many people blame the banks for lending too easily, some say they can get PVC cards, or PVC karte in Germany, too easily and others say the government should have kept better control over the situation. However, had people not got themselves into so much debt they would not be in the trouble they are now. Everyone seems to want someone to blame but they have not looked at themselves to see if they are part of the cause as well. It is easy to blame the government and big companies but looking to ourselves is not so easy.
