WASHINGTON (AP) — Federal bank regulators plan to increase staffing 60 percent in coming months to handle an anticipated surge in troubled financial institutions.
The Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. wants to add 140 workers to bring staff levels to 360 workers in the division that handles bank failures, John Bovenzi, the agency's chief operating officer, said Tuesday.
"We want to make sure that we're prepared," Bovenzi said

March 25 (Bloomberg) -- Wall Street banks, brokerages and hedge funds may report $460 billion in credit losses from the collapse of the subprime mortgage market, or almost four times the amount already disclosed, according to Goldman Sachs Group Inc. Profits will continue to wane, other analysts said.

#1 Von if we didn't recognize our debt the entire global economy would crash and then the US and China would be in a REAL war and not just dislike each other.

Ireland was doing well economically.
The country had a massive surge in construction and development over the past ten years.
This was largely due to a surge in finance which could be attributed to smart trade by the government, entrepeneurism and in particular the use of Ireland's tourism industry.
Ireland also benefited from it's place in the European community and exploited it's green image when trading internationally.
In short, the governemnt made a great short term plan, which raised a huge amount of capital.
Unfortunately the Construction Industry is now in recess. Domestic, Industrial and Commercial construction is near a stand still, House prices are dropping and the country is undergoing an unemployment epidemic in the area of building services.
The government will now try to use the revenue that was earned and translate it into a new strategy.
So in fact the economy is buoyant, the past has ensured a bit of security for the future, but one could hardly say the economy is doing very well anymore.

Plus they slashed their corporation tax rate and made their financial system more corporate-friendly.
Why Ireland Lyle ?
