#1 Yep, Europe's screwed, we knew that already.

#2 Good. You have to destroy what they have now completely before something worthwhile (or, at least, not a threat to the rest of the World) can be put in its place.

#3 A flagrant violation of the Constitition.

#4 This is a very biased view. From what I've read all they did is kick the can down the road again. Nothing is going to happen according to this until next year and then only if they can agree on a formal banking supervision formula run by the ECB.

That last one is the real sticker because that's the one that Merkel has said no easy money. AND that's probably going to require a change to the German constitution to pass.

This announcement is nothing more than propaganda for the masses to take some pressure off Rajoy and Monti.

S2D2.

#6 I will change my nick name very soon. Suggestions welcome.

"American at Heart in Exile" is a bit long though.

#7 Sounds perfect to me, EC.

You only have to type it once, then the computer will remember (unless your cookies get wiped out).

#8 "Bundesverfassungsgericht" is kind of long too, so I just call them the bitter clingers in Karlsruhe. Something like that?

#9 I had to google to find out what you meant by Bitter Clingers. Now I get the point.

The fact is that the Maastricht Treaty EXPLICITLY forbids a transfer union. Each state is required to mind (and mend) its own finances.

Today German parliament gave away its budget sovereignty to some undemocratic unelected body people cannot even spell out. We are witnessing a power grab of Eu bureaucrats which is simply unconstitutional and illegal. You could call it high treason, too, but those words sound so old-fashioned.

In a few years we'll pay by a currency cut. I will prepare accordingly.
