Europe prediction thread

[scooterscot]

You shouldn't worry about the Euro or Europe. You should worry about the U.S. of A. If you add Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae's debt to the official United States public debt you get more than 14 trillion dollars debt (I've actually lost count, it could be more by now) which would bring US debt to GDP ratio to more than 150%, correct me if I'm wrong. The US debt is a massive timebomb. All together the Eurozone is in much better shape.

Not to talk about Britain's massive private household debt...

SSSSsssshhhh!! Don't change the tune! We're saving that for the late night disco party.

One year from now? Still fiddling while Rome burns.

WHS.

They'll kick the can for a decade, some money printing, delaying tactics, some austerity but not much, everyone living beyond their means and paying the price with weak currencies and inflation. A long drawn out recession with little or no growth.

Any economic experts fancy sketching the European landscape one year on from today?

Expert economist? That's shirley a oxymoron.

Will the Euro/EU exist

Of course it will.

will Greece, Italy, Ireland, Portugal, UK, be in it?

Yes and no to the UK.

Who will have defaulted

Possibly the UK, our debt continues to increase at present.

will we be at war

We already are.

Will we be in double dip land?

As long as Dave and Gideon are in office yes. You can also expect the quality of living to continue its downward trend as inflation remains beyond the government's target.
