Hope it does happen. The fatherland needs to unshackle itself from these incompetents.

LOAN ? it's a loan if you can make the payments, when they default in a couple of years down the road, it will be forgiven and all the countries doing the loaning will be fucked. This whole thing sounded great in theory, but in practice, it's a never ending money drain on the 'haves'

Let's not forget that by lending them money that didn't previously exist they are expanding the money supply and decreasing the value of our money. Let's also not forget that by lending out money at sub-market prices they are essentially encouraging more bad investments. Let's also not forget that the governments accepting the loans aren't the ones that will be held accountable if things go wrong (even though they are the ones who will be spending the money) and that those governments won't be the ones that will have to pay back those loans, but the people living in those countries.

If the Euro survives, which it probably will. The EU will bring in very strict laws on what a country can and can't do financially. Allowing countries to run up massive debts to others have to bail them out is suicide financially.

will happen, wait till shit hits the fan in major countries like spain or italy. that will be fun.
and webmasters should pray it happen for obvious reasons

I would say go ask Germany

The country pays for eurozone's wealth so they will be the main decision makers I believe. A break up is the most pessimistic scenario but I think that stricter financial regulations would be the next step to make.

At first I heard "Spain is too large to bail out" and now it is being considered. What's the deal with that?

**pornguy** · 11-29-2010, 11:41 AM

I believe and see signs that the only way to have something like the Euro is to have it globally. that is the only way for it to work.

**Hentaikid** · 11-29-2010, 11:41 AM

why can't they devalue the fucking euro is what I ask

**baddog** · 11-29-2010, 12:00 PM

From an outsider's perspective, the Euro amounted to welfare. You took countries like Germany and let them support the poorer countries. Just like we will never can welfare, they are pretty much stuck with the Euro.
