Banks, companies and investors are preparing themselves for a collapse of the euro. Cross-border bank lending is falling, asset managers are shunning Europe and money is flowing into German real estate and bonds. The euro remains stable against the dollar because America has debt problems too. But unlike the euro, the dollar's structure isn't in doubt.

Yeah, last week Italy said it would be Germany's
fault, because they refused them more money to
spend, if they failed.

Yeah, and crack-dealers are to blame for crackheads not getting the crack they need despite no banks and convenience stores left in the hood to rob...I guess we just need more philanthropic crack-dealers and all will be well...

Even as Greece desperately tries to avoid defaulting on its debt, American companies are preparing for what was once unthinkable: that Greece could soon be forced to leave the euro zone.

I don't know if the German justice system will see things the way Peter Gauweiler sees it, but he is voicing valid concerns over the EU creating its own unlimited financial behemoth running amok outside of political control...much like the Fed/Treasury "merger" in the US back in the 50's...

He'll probably lose in the end, going up against the system is a lot tougher than it used to be...and the EU will have its avenue to hell paved in freshly printed Euro notes...

Oh well...

They could take that tin cup or whatever it is and pawn it. 
They should have taken Merkel's advice: cut entitlement
spending, go to work, and sell some islands to pay your debt.

Oh oh!  If Germany is starting to slip this could really exacerbate things in the EU!

Germany, IMO, would be better off using its own currency.  Get out of the EU, take the short term loss, and then build up for the firestorm.

Agreed, but they seem more determined to rule over a weak EU than a strong Germany.

IIRC, this was the original French complaint/fear.

Yes, remember all the Franco-Kraut hand-holding and kissy-kissy at the start of this dance?
