For a change, some German eurosceptic ranters

Hypothesis: Spanish is easier than German, economics 101 appears easier than politics, and so the political problem of Germany’s role in Europe has, curiously, become a story about some blocks of flats in Valencia. And, since most of the English-language press can’t read Spanish either, they end up looking for solutions in the mantras of some cuddly American economist.

For example: The Frankfurter Allgemeine approximates pretty well to mainstream German centre-right opinion and publishes articles like this every few days laying out the essential choice – full political (which, should any be in doubt, means military) union or the end of the euro and hence the EU project – but elsewhere no one, except the Tory eurosceptics, seems to get it. And what even many of the latter don’t get is the extent of German domestic opposition to the Wholly Belgian Empire.

MSM comment streams may on the whole be for the mentally unstable, and I think there’s still a gulf between voter opinion and ballot box choices, but here via GT is a taster of comments from the article above:

MICHAEL TRAPP (KUNSTST. ..) – 10/06/2012 20:48 clockThe euro, the EU is threatening to blow upHelmut Kohl’s fears, without the unifying bond of euro in Europe could set off the old conflicts again, has been overtaken by reality. The opposite has occurred, the euro has led to euro countries apart, the differences in competitiveness and economic strength have increased.A European Union is sheer fiscal illusion or someone really believes in the readiness of French sovereignty to German ideas imprinted in the financial and economic policy? And if not, we will operate in all seriousness, southern Germany flexible monetary policy to address the growing gap between North and South?In order to save Europe, we must stop this large-scale experiment, the faster the better, before he pulls us all together into the financial abyss!

Not even on the horizon.So, a (proto-) euro-state can only be a pseudo-legitimized Burocratur.The euro was a political project, coined by time-bound, common interests, dreams and anxieties in national elites. That changed quickly now.That’s what this project will fail even to national level.Hopefully in time via the national elections.Otherwise, this construct weitergefuhrt via emergency legislation. Monetaire chaos, political nihilism and violence will unfold then more and more.It would be commended if some euro Filen remove it from the German policies have time and have the courage to discuss this with us.

To achieve victory, must logically be called up all what you have. Costs play no role. Therefore, one can not analyze too sober. E.G. assess what is better: exit costs vs. Debt Union for the next 20/30 years.The Germans know how to lose wars. The other European nations will learn it the hard way.Recommended answers (8) Flag as Inappropriate FollowROLAND 46 champion (RKAEMPE) – 10/06/2012 18:12 clockBreak the euro? – I would like Europe.He has hurt Germany and Europe only.The EU, too, this repository for discarded politicians, can be abolished without hesitation.Centralism is the devil.

15 MATTHEW BLACK (GOODGOV) – 06/10/2012 17:43 clockAnd all because no one …… intention to deliver in the highly indebted countries of their own money and property something to pay off the national debt. That is the moral bankruptcy of the entire EU. The Spanish are no poor people. A lot of Spaniards are filthy rich and have set for life. And much of what the Spanish State is in debt, but now the private accounts of the Spaniards and their property portfolio (expensive penthouses, yachts, villas, sports, etc.).We need a change of mentality. The sovereign debt crisis could be ended quickly, stop if the states would have to pay more other states for its own debts. Its own citizens might very well pay off much of their debt immediately. We need a temporary wealth tax. This will then indeed every Spaniard a little poorer in terms of his ability, but it does raise its debt anyway. So why should people pay other countries for Spanish debt?

To complete the missing insights from Sarrazin reflection on virtues of a central bank, respect for national mentality, understanding of deep-rooted economic patronage and corruption.Two areas exist:1) The currency of euros, at the crossroads of “euro Bundesbank” or chaos with inflation and restriction.Who compliance with the agreements Maastricher not even mastered how is the face of mass unemployment and productivity deficit in the face of gross errors in favor of regulatory commissions and bonuses in the financial sector cause interventionist miracles?2) The real economy, misled by cheap money and regulatory policy naivete.

And these gentlemen, one of which must even put up publicly the title of “liar”, should be wangled more power? By whom? With what justification?I would in any State (contemptuous bunch) live, governed in me an aloof, not democratically legitimized, consumer-hostile nomenklatura, while the next is a “European Parliament” tolerated, but not its significance goes beyond that of a promotional note.

In Italy, there’s a very beautiful saying: you can not get off after the wedding night as a princess of the marriage bed. The criss-cross-invested cash balances and has managed over a defacto too connected to fail. Some one here would dream of one of the euro almost unscathed or with only a black eye out again, which is not the case. The political, economic and financial consequences would be enormous. Particularly affected were the jobs in all countries. The political consequences but I would like to make any speculations, but only so much, that would lead to tensions within NATO. The euro was created for political reasons, the password is too happy.Recommended answers (7)

Only one thing should be a safe bet: This grant technocrats and amateurish incompetents in Brussels more power would be like carrying coals to Newcastle. That would be for Europe certainly the worst possible solution. Only the question “way out of the EURO?”, Is probably no definitive answer to YES or NO. Both have advantages and disadvantages. And it’s not always factually correct decisions that must be the right ones. Much is also a question of tactics, with the special position of Germany is taken into account.

I am firmly convinced that the people in one or another European country to these ideas of order – the abolition of their nation – will NOT connect. A European central government is currently, if any, will only bring about by force and trickery. I reject in any case! The euro uro is de facto already failed to bring those responsible to admit this failure are still many billions of debt piled up. D currently pays little for the government bonds, which is the rollover at maturity of the bonds in a few years look very different! The game is known, it has been with GR, E, IRL, … gesielt.The euro uro must be handled classified, Europe should maintain its diversity, commissioners and Beglückungsbeauftragte Nobody needs. From further integration, it needs more compelling direct democracy at all levels.

It’s such a shame the Germans and the British speak dialects that are so similar, because I think that otherwise there’d be real potential for understanding.
