Paralleled Economies just a chance ?

When first I heard that Mortgages were in trouble in the US I thought nothing about it and then I heard similar news on England news. I then heard the Government wanted billions originally for the housing market and later to bail out banks. Bush was still in office when he requested Billions and it was passed. Then elections happen and Obama requested Billions and party members mentioned they had no way of knowing where the money went from the bush era but that they would create a website that Americans could find out exactly where the Obama administration was spending the money. Much of it went to big banks to bail them out. It was then I noticed England also was asking for money to bail out... and then I heard other economies were collapsing and needed to make cut backs, maybe raise taxes cut social services etc.. Riots happen, Protest happen. But What didn't happen is the simple observation that the entire global community were all following a similar pattern. I question the odds of this and the timing? What are the odds that everyone is suddenly having great money issues at the same time? Shouldn't some of the Countries who are allies be doing well ?

Yeh, I know. What a coincidence. It's almost as if they were all looted by some league of super-rich fat cats at the same time....

That makes alot of sense...but I cant think of anyone doing good
