hahahhahaha.. Well, they're not going to make a profit from this clusterfuck, that's for sure.

There's going to be a sharp contrast between the average German on the street, and their leaders.

The German Joe Six Pack is going to want fiscal responsibility.. and uniform standards applied across the EU. Basically fairness. He's going to feel that it's his money that is being wasted.

The leaders of France and Germany, however.. They're going to want to go the opposite route.. Which is why the first bailout happened.

"Saving" the EU is a massive demonstration of soft power. It's how you become a defacto leader of a union like the EU. . You solve all the problem and you do the heavy lifting when others can't.

It doesn't matter who is the "President" of the union any more than it matters who's the head of the UN.. They're paper tigers when you've got the real power.

Eventually, this becomes an accepted conventional wisdom..
