Re:The real reason the Euro is BAD NEWS

On: The Euro

The UK is the most powerful economy in Europe, and its government is clearly the best at managing an economy. If anyone should be running the Euro, fixing the interest rates and running the inevitable European tax system, its the Bank of England, and NOT the Bundesbank.

hmmm ... interesting argument ;)
how do you define "powerful economy" ? which economic indicators do you use ?

let's take the GDP (Gross Domestic Product) and check some statistics (sorry, from 1999-2000 but the only I found in just a few minutes, estimated but you get the idea ;] )

ooops ... it seems that the "most powerful" economy in europe has been kicked in the a** by the Krauts (not for the first time ;> ) ... and look ... what a shame ... even the French do better than this BSE-contaminated little island

you see the facts: GERMANY is the MOST POWERFUL ECONOMY in EUROPE (who else ?)

so keep your mouth shut and bow your head in shame
