#2 ""We all have to work together in order to survive with the eurozone, because if we don't survive with the eurozone we will not survive with the European Union," Van Rompuy said in a speech in Brussels."

If YOU don't survive it (figuratively speaking) I won't complain.

Just wondering how Europe survived without the Euro when it was still the European Economic Community.

#4 You simply can't lash together strong industrial countries with weak countries under a common currency, particularly and especially when the labor pools aren't mobile. Either the currency will be too strong for the weak countries or too weak for the strong countries. There's no way around it.

#5 The EEC worked very well.
Abolishing tariffs and duties worked very well.
Free trade worked very well.

The Euro? It wasn't necessary. Fixed rates would have worked very well. We'd just adjust them and be done with.

A common currency with Italy, Greece? What were they thinking?
