A single currency means peace, our governmen tells us so, time and again, it is true! Merkel says time and again that her policy is without alternative! Democratic processing is not needed, we just need to hear and follow! You crazy Anglosaxon island squatters better start to listen to her!
Also, if you take away the EU and the Euro and the German self-deconstruction for both, what option would the German war generation a la Helmut Schmidt have then to reassure the world and even more important: their own bad consciousness that they are so very sorry for WWII and what the Third Reich had done to everybody! Sacrificing ourselves now for the EU and the Euro is their best method to demonstrate how very very bad they still feel overt what happened 70 years ago!
Wicked Skybird says: Germany lost the war, and for that it deserves punishment! May sound ironic, but there is some grain of truth in it. You guys cannot imagine how crazy us Germans can tick. Only Germans can.
Hm. After two world wars, maybe you can as well.

Same reason we (USA) ignored a major rule of capitalism (let the weak fail) by bailing out our sloppy banks.
You Euros are free to blame the United States for this. We set the trend of privatizing the profits and socializing the losses.
Yes Mr. Jimbuna, let them fail.. It may hurt the elites for awhile but things will stabilize eventually. 
There isn't a banking institution in this world is is not corrupt or complicit in this worldwide economic crises. |
All I'll say to you both atm is.....I'm not a fan of the EU....the UK is an island nation and as such we have always stood alone in the past.
Yes, the EU supporters claim that pulling out of the EU will harm our economy but if you have anything of worth that is wanted by a consumer they will find the means to trade.
Take it to a referendum of the British nation...funny how neither of the big two political parties fail to do that...I wonder why?
