Sovereign Debt Ticking Time Bomb
The credit bubble on the private sector balance sheet imploded during the credit crisis of 2008. Instead of allowing the debt to cleanse itself from the system, governments around the world nationalized the toxic loans.
Since that point we have been experiencing the next credit crisis; sovereign (government) debt. It was felt first in Dubai, then moved to Greece, and is seen today in Ireland and Portugal. (You'll hear about these last two in the news in a few weeks)
