Get ready...They are planning to print a lot of money.

Finance ministers and central bank presidents from the Group of 20, which includes wealthy and developing nations, agreed the world must work together to address the current crisis. But they approved no specific plans ahead of a meeting of G-20 heads of state set for Washington next week.

Ministers urged governments to increase spending or cut taxes as they can to help reverse an economic downturn that is expected reduce global trade next year for the first time since 1982.

Meanwhile....China unveiled a $586 billion stimulus package Sunday in its biggest move to inoculate the world's fourth-largest economy against the global financial crisis.

The Cabinet approved a plan to invest the money in infrastructure and social welfare by the end of 2010, a statement on the government's Web site said.

Bottom line.This is a great opportunity to make money! These people are not joking. They are planning to throw a lot of money at the problems they perceive. Even if they may not be problems. Just to make sure.
