The Economist has an excellent article on the same subject I was blogging on before I was rudely interrupted by my wife. Three months after my last post, Europe and the Euro seems poised even more to plunge into the depths, with all its social and other protections and impedimenta intact.
At the moment, the imperious Brussels unelected gnomocracy will continue to arrange deck chairs on the sinking Titanic, but soon the era of bloated social protections, from pensions to health, education and unemployment benefits will disappear as surely as the great ocean liner did into the dark waters of the Atlantic 100 years ago in April.
Sauve qui peut.
