YC..........I agree with you on this one... The EE has already failed......There is no more money to be generously given to the new members and some of them (e.g Poland) are kicking up a stink already. Germany, Italy and France (not to name our beloved Greece and others) are running huge deficits well in excess of the allowable 3% of GDP (or their budgets -stand to be corrected, one of the two), while unemployment is running rampant......Soon high inflation will be added to the above making thus the "Holy Trinity" of economic evils an unwanted reality......
*****(will be perpetuated by rising oil and gas prices) Surely you mean PRECIPITATED and not perpetuated in your above observation.......For, Perpetuate=make something perpetual, continue to preserve from extinction or oblivion....... I am sure you meant exactly the opposite:)))
