The speculators used to have to play with the currencies, so they all went to the euro, and now instead the speculators play with the bond markets....if there were one bond-issuing institution...say a Eurobank, then there wouldn't be this ability to jerk the member states around...but no, Angela won't have it! She doesn't want to put Germany's economic engines to work for anyone but the Germans....which is hypocrisy, and nothing more than colonization of the south by the north...
