European Debt Crisis

We've been following the European debt crisis through the election of France's Socialist president.  Here's a good article in the New York Times about the struggle his election symbolizes.  As you remember, President Obama and the Republican party are going through a similar debate.  What is more important to stabilizing an economy, government spending to stimulate job growth or austerity programs to reduce the deficit?  What do you think?

If you want some basic answers to some questions about Europe and the Euro there's an older Times post from the Planet Money guys.  Check it out.
