That's about the same as If I started talking about UK being doomed because of few towns with high unemployment, because few factories and mines closed.
And England being rural and impoverished.
French protest all the time, Greece makes up 2% of EU, most of the EU countries are highly urbanized and industrialized nations.

You can spin it any way you want to make yourself feel better, but GDP doesn't lie..

Give it a break with doom and gloom.
EU doom isn't any more close than other doomed stuff you read in the papers and keep hearing about on HC!
I mean, Australia is doomed too, right?
USA doomed with all the debt, China is doomed, India is doomed, Russia is doomed, Economy is doomed, etc, etc..
Everything is falling appart! Yet the world just keeps rolling despite the doom prophecies
