No one was saying that. Someone opined that Iceland might be having a financial apocalypse. That is not the case. It is bad "for us" but we already started very well off, and even our big dip doesn't put us near as bad in percentage as the US (for unemployment). So if you're American, and that's the system you know, we're half the unemployment using the same statistics.
