pandora's box Posted January 21, 2011 Report Share Posted January 21, 2011 (edited) The euro project has not gone according to plan... I believe the European bureaucrats have badly misjudged the public mood. Perhaps they are too closely aligned with the plutocracy of the financial and banking sector.

indirectapproach Posted January 22, 2011 Report Share Posted January 22, 2011 I have a nasty suspicion European interest rates are set for German convenience rather than European benefit. Nice and low to get through all that money spent on trying to sort out their east and then nice and high to prevent German inflation taking a hold. Europe seems to be supremely irrelevant while the Hun jogs along happily, http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-12249714 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
