Yes, that's just what the world needs-- someone who can make arrival at the bottom more foppush, LOL. Some of these are quite interesting, in addition to being funny. It's a sort of a puzzle, figuring out what Alice intended to say here.

sPAIN pleas for emergency 24 hour help:

 

"“If public debt isn’t sustainable, we have a problem,”"

 

"“All the measures I have proposed can be taken in 24 hours, the most important one is guaranteeing the sustainability of the public debt of the countries of the EU,” Rajoy said."

"Spanish Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy is fighting the triple threat of recession, higher-than-targeted deficits and a banking system hobbled by about 184 billion euros of what the Bank of Spain calls “problematic” assets that plummeted when the real- estate bubble burst."

 

"Rajoy pleaded with the central bank to restart a bond- purchase program that it mothballed in the face of German-led opposition."

[3] Leave 'er just about flat and come back next week with a vengeance either up or down

____________

 

I'll go with [3]

As measured by Treasury bonds, inflation expectations are falling amid heightened concerns that the discord in Europe will threaten U.S. growth. Some observers say that the lowered outlook for inflation gives the Federal Reserve more leeway to stimulate the economy, possibly through another round of quantitative easing.
