The do ridiculous things to try to save the euro. The emergency fund (its called ESM i think) is plain ridiculous. Countries can basicaly be forced (the whole process is 'automated') to loan money to other countries, it's government can't block the transaction.

Sad that the Dutch government agreed with this ridiculous set up, it will probably blow up in our face soon.

Well... Sweden is on quite a few of these as well. But at least we don't have the Euro.

Don't bother me. Some company's need to fail. The auto bailout was essentially union kickbacks.

Wasn't trying to bother you, just wanted an conversation about the bailouts.

Nice methaphor, though not completely true. Most countries in Northern Europe are quite safe economically. Coutnries like Finland, Luxembourg and Germany. The biggest problems are in Southern Europe, but because of the monetary union the bad countries pull the good ones down. Which why the strict regulations are necessary.

Yeah. As the Swedish PM said in parliament yesterday... There are two economies in Europe. A good one in the north, and a bad mismanaged one in the south.

This does sound a bit like a military coup. I doubt it'll succeed though. I don't think those who were able to bring down Mubarak will let this happen.
