WASHINGTON, Jul 8 (OneWorld.net) - "The ongoing economic crisis is likely to bring the economies of many developing countries to the brink of collapse and threatens the very survival of their citizens," cautions a UN anti-poverty agency urging world leaders at the ongoing G8 Summit to provide financial resources for struggling nations.

World Economic Crisis

Yes, this world economic crisis is a major problem.  The affect of the US economy is felt globally. We need to all play our part in helping to stimulate the economy.  The question is how do you do this.  I opened a pilot shop selling aviation headsets in order to compensate for lost wages.  Although this seems minuscule in comparison to the economy, if we all play a part then we will ensure economic growth worldwide.
