8. I don't think Euroland is going to do any better than the UK or US

Because their governments sold them out doesn't mean that the Greek people, or any other of the Euro citizens, actually *want* to be part of Euroland.

We're losing our constitution, but the Euro countries have lost their sovereignty and democracy as well. I don't recall either Greek or Italian people having actually elected their current appointed GS 'leaders.'

This reads to me like Germany once again thinks it will rule the world.

They seem to forget how heavily *they* depend on export. They cannot starve their customers to prosperity.
