Oh,it's a slow-motion trainwreck in the works, not a doubt of it. I suspect it reaches total trainwreck status when a medium-sized economy in the EU begins having Portugal-size debt problems. As things stand now, the Irish haven't a prayer of becoming anything other than a permanent weak-sister member of the EU, principally due to the policies EU have forced upon them.

That this mess (uh, that would be EU, for those in Rio Linda...) should be administered mainly by Brussels is nothing short of hilarious. You will recall, I'm sure, that Belgium has not HAD a coherent goobermint for about a year...and shows no signs of electing/selecting one any time soon. For the Eurocrats in Brussels to issue pronouncements and "policies" about other nations' behaviour and policies is simply risible.
