I always said the Euro had nothing to really back it up.

In every way, it reminded me of our own irrational investment in the stock market years ago.

A people who once enthusiastically embraced Europe's common currency now feel swindled by it.

The aspects of socialism are calculable. To the penny.

Screw the Gnome of Omaha, too. He bet on the Euro big time.

Let's see if I have this correct? Cognac should be cheaper in the US now that the euro has become the screwedo. But hey, wait, I don't care, it's still French.
Oh the sacrifices one must make. It is worth it.

The one thing that would have helped them to get long term unemployment under control they reject ? It will get worse in the years to come and we are headed on the same path. A global economic meltdown is right around the corner if you talk to people who understand the derivitives market. Misery loves company and our bone headed politicians are now talking about universal healthcare and we have some huge companies who are going to default on their pension payments and the US Pension Guarnentee program is going to stick all of us with the bill.

Yahoo's currency converter page is running tonight an ad from "REFCO FX":

Hedge yourself against a weak U.S. economy
... With $5,000 collateral you can buy 500,000 Euros

Lol!

Btw, Italians hate the Euro. They blame it for all ills. They'd be among the first to dump it. They shouldn't, but they just might... Then again, I miss the days of 10,000 lira / dollar.

Minister: ‘Italy should dump euro'

[hershey]

Amazing. Why I was told just yesterday by a Liberal elitist Eurolover that Europe was getting along famously. No problems there!
