Notre choix est abondamment et cristal clair. Le Hun mal a tenté deux fois de conquérir la terre éternelle de « Liberté, égalité, fraternité » et les deux fois les États-Unis est venu à son secours.

Oui, Vive la France ! Je suis ici déclaration en douane... mes amis et collègues amateurs de liberté et de bons vins !

Kerry ! Kerry ! C'est notre homme ! Kerry ! Kerry ! Il paie pour le vin... Kerry ! Kerry ! C'est notre homme !

It doesn’t take an economics genius to understand that no German wants to spend his hard-earned money propping up France, Greece, Cyprus, Spain and any others who can’t live within their means. Not for nothing was the story of the Tower of Babel included in the Bible.

The EU did not NEED the Euro and the EU would have been better off today had the French particularly and the European international bankers NOT been so politically envious of the U.S. dollar, so envious that their offspring to satisfy that envy - the Euro - was given an artificial birth “before its time”.

The introduction of the Euro should have proceeded in very gradual stages based on more than simply national-government-deficit to GDP ratio benchmarks (which they all violated). Just as importantly as a single item such as national-government-deficit to GDP ratio (as far as the start of a new “common” currency), were GDP growth rates, GDP-per-capita rates, trade balances, work-force participation, and unemployment rates, just to name a few.

The premature establishment of the Euro was no solution to underforming economies joining it. The same ones that were underforming when the Euro was started, the same ones for whom it was said establishing the Euro would benefit them, are the same batch, for the most part, that are underperforming today.

Why? The Euro fixed nothing in terms of internal structural economic reforms that needed fixing in any EU country and particularly not in the countries most in need of internal economic structural reforms.

I think the European nations that stayed out of the Euro must be happy they did.

I am pretty sure we’re going to think more than twice before saving France again too.

The EU was crammed down the throats of the people and has had about as much legitimacy as Obamacare has with the public in this country, who suffered a similar indignity and outrage. Only a matter of time for euro skepticism to evolve as a political force. The EU's days are clearly numbered.
