Merkel Prepares to Strike Back Against Hollande
2012-05-29
France's new president, François Hollande, has put the German chancellor on the defensive with his growth agenda. Now Angela Merkel is planning to strike back. She is calling for structural reforms to save the euro with a six-point plan aimed at harmonizing austerity and growth in Europe once again.

#3  The Hollande Days is unappetizing to me as well. So it seems that in addition to head of government change-outs a la Italy and Greece, there seems to be mechanism in the Euro Nation to control the coffers as well. This is in addition to nations effectively having others vote them in.

Its a good thing they have pretty pictures and know multiple languages such as Austrian, otherwise it would look a bit like tyranny. The only thing missing would be an ad-hoc militia composed of foreigners who are hooked on the government interested in threats and violence as a method to persue their own interests. Yes I believe that is the preferred method, I'd ask Gadaffi but hey, you know.

I guess if Germany needs to collect, they could send their reps and bankers to the low countries, convence them, then send the bankers and couriers up around then into Paris. Set up shop, take some pictures for insurance sakes.
