That goes back to Churchills old adage about the S-word . . .
Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance and the gospel of envy. Its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery.

These same Europeans think Portugal, Italy, Ireland, Greece and Spain are doing a swell job with their countries’ finances.

Its just about all of them. How is it that France, only second to Germany in terms of economy, is such a financial failure all of a sudden? (Never mind the $6.4 trillion in debt that Germany has been
hiding.)

Not only that (Germany’s debt), the Germans are eventually going to have a revolt of their own if they keep trying to prop up the rest of the EU.

That’s a power play. Any loans that Germany gives out come at the cost of the borrower’s national sovereignty; those are part of the terms of such loans. Why else did the countries that took the loans resist them at first, and then get their governments replaced (suddenly) with politicians that were receptive to the loans?

But who would want to own, say, Greece, and inherit it's debts / economy? German taxpayers? It seems unlikely...
