Euro leaders have agreed to a 730 billion euro set of loan guarantees. It is intended to head off the chance of a domino effect taking out the remaining PIIGS, but some critics say they're just spreading the problem around, setting the whole thing up for a bigger, worse crash later. For it to actually work as planned seems to depend on debt-laden countries learning to live within their means.
