Title: The Euro...
Post by: Bird on November 12, 2011, 08:19:38 PM
Was it a big mistake for all these countries to jump in with 1 form of currency


Now France is about to cop it, or run off with another gig..

I dont feel it was such a top idea with so much corruption in some of the countries which wasnt a secret by any means.. were they naive, or just didnt expect it?

This is a good read. Not saying buy what he's (Porter Stansberry) selling (Investment Newsletter) but he gives a strong argument about what could happen next.

For the EU to have worked, all participating countries should have worked collectively for the good of the EU.
Each of the governments have been more active in borrowing money in excess of their repayment capacity in order to fund outrageous living conditions/promises for their voters at each election.

Does that sound like something we have at home as well.
