Greece became a problem 18 months ago and this is the first attempt at any kind of a macro plan.

Strength in unity. Form a Laager and fight back the hedgie hordes.<br />If the Euro stands united it can't be broken.<br />But if a country is separated it will be killed. And then those trader/barbarians will be at the gates again, looking for the next weakest, and so on.<br /><br />Letting Greece slip out of the union would not be the end of the Euro. In fact, the Euro strengthens with each sick and wounded country left behind when the wagon train moves off.Znoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32841798.post-59926007123514708132011-09-26T12:38:23.571+01:002011-09-26T12:38:23.571+01:00Two million million is a year and a thirds entire ...Two million million is a year and a thirds entire output for the Germans--are they going to pay this and have more austerity(in the short term ) than the Greeks?--if not them who else is going to pay and with what?
