Death Of The Eurozone by John de Roe.
When the first treaty aimed at establishing the European Union was drafted by the bureaucrat Jean Monnet it stated clearly the aim should be to create a single European state with a single currency (the Euro) and eventually a single government. That part of the reaty was rejected by all European states and an economic community based on free trade and fee movenent of goods and labour formed. But the Eurocrats of Brussels did not give up their dream ...

30 June 2010

by Ian R Thorpe

“France and Great Britain shall no longer be two nations, but one Franco-British union,” read the declaration.

“The constitution of the Union will provide for joint organs of defence, foreign, financial and economic policies. Every citizen of France will enjoy immediately citizenship of Great Britain, every British subject will become a citizen of France.”

The text was drafted by Jean Monnet, the architect of the European Union. If alive today, he would be pounding on the door of the Kanzleramt, exhorting Angela Merkel to offer a total fiscal union to all members of the eurozone before everything falls apart, and for complete fiscal and political integration to be enshrined in a revised EU treaty.

Monnet and his acolytes, Delors, Santer and the rest would not stop there however. They would be demanding that the sovereign debts and budget deficits of debts of Greece, Cyprus, Italy, Spain, Portugal, and Ireland will be fused immediately with German, French, British, Swedish, Dutch debt; that a single a single treasury be established to control the finances of all member states, and that treasury issue euro-bonds for all Europia or whatever clunky, boring name the creatively challenged Eurocrats, the unelected, unaccountable desk jockeys of the European Union decide to call the single European state they have always planned would be the outcome of their insanely bond-villainesque schemes.

Such a drastic, world changing move may now be the only thing that can save European Monetary Union and the monochrome dream of Monnet and the rest. But for such a thing to happen Germany would have to set about transforming the economic basket cases of Europia in the same way as it has transformed the former DDR, East Germany as it was known, the economic basket case of the Soviet bloc, over the last 20 years. To undertake such a task would involve a massive outflow of wealth from Germany to nations that Germany does not much care for and that in their turn despise Germany.

The alternative is for Germany to watch its strategic investment in the postwar reordering of European politics disappear in a puff of smoke. The political problem for Angela Merkel and her colleagues in the German government is their country would be blamed for the collapse of the project. This is unfair, while Britain has been distinctly cool towards Europeanisation, the French have been pro - integration when it served their purpose and Italy has staggered from crisis to crisis, Germany has consistently supported Europe with massive amounts of money and in practical ways.

It is apparent to people involved in bond trading that the debt crisis in the EMU periphery is nearing danger point, and could well spiral out of control as quickly as did the Lehman-Bear-AIG-Fannie-Freddie toxic assets crisis of 2008. Prof Willem Buiter, a senior economist at Citigroup, said last week that Portugal is likely to be first to need a rescue, possibly before the end of 2010 and that Spain will follow “soon after”.

Klaus Baader from Societe Generale published a report the same day under the title “Eurozone sovereign debt crisis: next stop Spain”. He suggests that the EU bail-out fund raises money to buy Spanish bonds pre-emptively. The German constitutional lawyers might have an opinion on that.

Therein lies the problem. To implement any workable solution to the Eurozone crisis would require EU member nations, independent, democratic nations, to surrender much of their sovereignty to an unelected body in Brussels. People might think the European Parliament is there to protect the interests of voters in member nations but the Parliament, in Strasbourg, for all its grandiose posturing is a glorified talking shop. The real power in the EU rests with the bureaucrats of Brussels and they will use whatever crisis they can to advance their agenda of creating a single European superstate.

This is why the economic problems of Spain, a much larger nation in terms of its population and economy than the other basket cases, the so called Piigs (Portugal, Ireland, Italy, Greece, Spain) are so worrying for corporate and national economic policy makers.

At Deutsche Bank, Thomas Mayer said Spain might soon need a flexible credit from the IMF. Markets are already pricing a 23pc chance of default in Spain (34pc for Portugal, and 39pc for Ireland). If the country needs a rescue, it instantly exhausts the credible financial and political firepower of the EMU system. Not long ago the experts were assuring us there was no danger of Spain needing an International Rescue but that attitude has changed in the past few weeks as the effects of Spain's catastrophic experiment with green power have been fully understood.

The EU’s €440bn (Ł372bn) rescue fund “looks small, very small, too small”, says Dr Buiter. Alleged plans for a double-up are circulating “en coulisses” in the Berlaymont, but Berlin squashed the idea as “completely over the top”. In any case, we are beyond the point in the Europoker game where bluffs can achieve anything.The markets makers know exactly what hand the EU is holding and are not accepting any more IOUs to fund the bets of states that cannot service their existing debt.

The chosen strategy of painful austerity and 1930s debt-deflation lame duck economies has already been tested in Ireland. There it only led to the same outcome as in the 1930s. Tax revenues have collapsed. The deficit has hardly been reduced because the economy was over - reliant on financial services, the housing market and debt funded domestic consumption. The policy is based on mathematical theories of the “fiscal multiplier”, and any fool except a mathematician (they lack experience of the real world) can see it is self-defeating.

On top of that Irish voters are still smarting over the EU's overturning their "no" vote in the 2009 referendum on ratification of the Lisbon treaty. Ireland, by democratic vote, refused to sign up to a further transfer of sovereign powers to the bureaucrats of Brussels and the Bureaucrats said, "Sorry, wrong answer, you will have to vote again and keep voting until you get it right. Many in Ireland see the current economic misery as payback from the EU for their disobedience. It does not bode well for pro - Europe parties in the next general election.

Should the EU impose the threatened 6.7pc interest charge on Ireland’s bail-out loans, the bureaucrats ought not to be surprised if the new Irish government in January says, "we're not paying, sue us", and pulls the plug on Europe’s banking system. A lot of people are hoping they do.

Ireland is a small nation however, it is Spain's economy on which the fate of EMU’s rests. Span's leader Jose Luis Zapatero said there is no chance his country would need a rescue. “Those investors shorting Spain are making a big mistake,” he told the Spanish Parliament and the media. Now where have we heard statements like that before? As Keynes once said, blaming economic crises on the markets is “not far removed, intellectually, from ascription of cattle disease to the “evil eye”.

Has Mr Zapatero bothered to read the IMF’s damning report on his country? It states that the government’s “gross financing needs” for 2011 will be €226bn, or 21pc of GDP. “Spain’s financing requirements are large and, retaining market confidence will be critical.

“The economy is highly indebted and has one of the most negative international investment positions (IIP) among advanced countries,” said the IMF. Its external accounts are under water by 80pc of GDP. Spanish banks will need to roll over €220bn in 2011 and 2012, according to Enrique Gońi, head of Banca Cívica who commented on the report “We’re in the antechamber of a new liquidity crisis. We’re living through a financial pre-collapse.”

Spain has exhausted its fiscal space. Targets should be made more credible,” the report concludes.

Madrid must attract €226bn of good money from Spanish, German, French and Japanese savers, investors, banks and insurers and China’s central bank, so an incompetent government (this one happens to be socialist, but the Greek conservatives were worse) can continue to run up budget deficits ad raise money in the bond markets to fund vanity projects such as the green energy fiasco that has left Spain's taxpayers handing over huge sums to foreign investors in sustainable energy projects even when those energy projects are not generating. Spanish savers are to familiar with their government's financial profligacy to hand over money to the state and international investors will follow Germany's lead. Why should German taxpayers lend a single pfennig, having already been told by EU leaders that they will face scalping if Spain ever needs a rescue?

This, in a nutshell, is the problem facing Angela Merkel. By the time she inherited the EMU debacle, imbalances were already chronic, and she certainly does not have popular mandate for grand gestures. In fact Frau Merkel's governing coalition is balanced on a knife edge and to commit Germany to becoming a financial crutch for most of Southern Europe would put the support of the Eurosceptic Free Democrat Party in doubt.

As the storm rages, the European Central Banks are tightening monetary policy by draining liquidity and raising interest rates and by signalling that they may soon shut the lending window that keeps Greek, Irish and Iberian banks alive. It is starting to look as if someone is pushing PIIGS into the slaughterhouse.

As for Jean Monnet's grand design, it is hard to see how such a union could ever have worked over time. It was rejected by the French cabinet at the time, though premier Paul Reynaud pleaded in favour. One Gallic patriot said that utter destruction was better than becoming a “dominion of the British Empire”. Today’s eurozone nationalists might well ask whether it is really worth giving up ancient sovereignty to keep an artificial currency.

Meanwhile As Punters Suffer Brussels Bureaucrats Throw Away Money As If It Is Infected
European Commission bureaucrats have squandered millions of pounds on bizarre projects that provide little or no benefit to member states, it has been revealed. Wasteful schemes include spending Ł20m on building three ports in Spain and Italy that remain unused four years after their completion and sending a ‘blogging donkey’ equipped with a solar panel and a video camera around Europe as part of ...

Financial MadnessWas the credit crunch as the media called it really caused by the geed and incometence of the banks and the inabiliy of us ordinary punters to manage our affairs. Or was it all due to the financial madness of politicians who engineered a a system that depended on infinite growh in a world of finite resources.
The Debt Threat To Our Way Of LifeJapan's Triple A credit rating has just been downgraded, that of the USA is looking a long way short of secure.What is going on in the world of finance when economic powerhouses like these are in trouble? Is the continuing financial criis and the threatened meltdown in the bond market just a knock on effect from 2008's problems or is something bigger going on?
If The EU Has It's Way We Will All Be Prisoners Of Bureaucracy
The British Parliament makes its decision by the votes of its members who are in turn elected by the votes of a majority of their constituents. Without the power to enact laws that shape the lives of British people and the direction of our nation Parliament is nothing. So when Parliament votes on a proposal and that vote make the new measure law or consigns it to oblivion in a dusty filing cabinet somewhere that is the resolution of the matter. That is what we mean by The Sovereignty of Parliament. Its decisions are ...

Coalition Government Urged To Make PFI Profiteers To Repay FundsFrancis Maude, the Cabinet Office minister, claimed that many PFI deals were "ghastly" and imposed an unfair "penalty" on schools, hospitals and other public services. It is understood that Cabinet Office and Treasury officials are examining PFI contracts worth billions of pounds, looking for ways to claw back money for taxpayers. Signalling an end to the era of PFI, Mr Maude said the Coalition's plans for a ...
Inflation TaxInflation is the cruellest tax, it hits the cautious, prudent and hard working, rewards the feckless, reckless and downright foolish. We have a bout of inflation under way, engineered by governments to reduce their unsdustainable levels of debt incurred in the business of buying otes to stay in power. What will be its effect on ordinary people?
Gambling In The Euro Casino At Vegas on the MedThe Daily Stirer has warned of the collapse of the Eurozone and the death of the single currency before. It was not a hard call to make, tying traditionally weak economies to a strong one like Germany's and thus blocking off the traditional route to eliminating debt in the weak nations, devaluation and inflation, was bound to wreak havoc with the economic basket cases of Southern Europe. The single currency has only survived so long because Germany has been willing to prop it up.
Financial AlchemyFor three decades it was alchemy. Banks and corporations pullede off the equivalent of turning lead to gold by turning liabilities to assets and then using those very dodgy assets to secure loans. It could not last of course, sooner or later someone was bound to work out how the illusion of turning debt to wealth was performed. Find out how here...

Boggart Blog predictions for 2011.
New Year is traditionally the time for predictions. So as 2010 fades into memory we give our Boggart Blog predictions for what will happen in 2011. How confident are we? Let's put it this way, we would rather bet one a one legged man in an arse kicking contest.

New Gold RushThere is great excitement in financial markets at the moment about the price gold currently trades at, $1400 per ounce. Take this from the Daily Telegraph for example:
Investors and central banks are buying up the yellow metal at unprecedented levels, but will its allure last as ...
Papering Over The G20 Cracks Will Not Avert A Currency War.The G20 leaders can pass all the resolutions they like and issue joint statements ''til the cows come home, the fact is we have a currency war and until the United States, owner of the world's reserve currency, the US Dollar stops trying to reduce its debt by devaluing the currency the world trades in and starts to work on getting its deficit under ...

Defending KeynesThe name of a great Englishman, John Maynard Keyes, is being trashed by that jug eared steak of piss and racist hater of all things British Barack Obama in attempts to give the failing Obama administration's loonytoons economics a veneer of sanity. Keynes recommended governments should use publc spending to sustain their economy during periods of recession. He did not say, as Obama's supporters claim he did, that nations already way past the point of bankruptcy should continue with reckless public spending projects.
Rogernomics.
It was the belief of economists (practicioners of the dismal science) in their own infallibility and the power of their mathematical models to override nature that got the world into its currect economic mess. Rogernomics is the science of blaming the previous government when the predictions of the mathematical models go horribly wrong.

Obama Deficit Reduction by John De Roe.
We hear that America's AAA credit rating is likely to be downgraded because the Obama administration has embarked on a courseof increasing its public sector deficit and national debt rather than taking steps to reduce its debt burden. Bit at least some member of the Obama administration seem to have got the message that debt reduction is more important than Obie's beloved vanity projects. Obama Takes A Swipe At China
US president Barack Obama took a swipe at China's currency policy after G20 leaders failed to resolve tensions running high over global trade imbalances.

The summit in South Korea ended as it began, the row over gaps and surpluses which sees China accused of keeping the yuan artificially low to boost its exports at the expense of American and European jobs dominated discussions .

Arrogance of Economists and Politicians
Politicians fulfil the basic requirement for earning a PhD in Stupids, they keep making the same mistakes over and over again. What mistakes? Too many to list really but one of the main ones is they keep listening to economists. Economists are arrogant because each time they say they have fixed the ecomomy a catastrophic economic colapse quickly follows. And after each collapse the economists come back and say, "We're the only people smart enough to fix the economy." And the stupid politicians believe them. But we kep electing the politicians so what does that make us? The Necessity Of Curbing State SpendingThe left, already laughably styling themselves "the opposition" even as Labour splits into tiny factions including the "old left" the traditional party of the working class, the people with traditional Labour values who recognise there are no magical solution, the "progressive left", the kind of people my colleague Ian Thorpe refers to as The Politically Correct Thought Police, who are currently working themselves into a frenzy about
Interesting TimesWhich way will the economic crisis go in 2010? Cracks are appearing in the Europen Single Currency scheme and China which has massive holdings of US treasury bonds is making unhappy noises about the dececit being run up by the Obama administration as they pursue loonytoons economic policies
The 99ers: Death Of The American Dream.
The 99ers are a new social class createde by the economic recession in the USA. This new demographic, not one the advertizing industry will be interested in are jobless people whose unemployment benefit (job sekers in UK parlance) benefit has run out and thus who have dropped off the unemployment statistics. But even for people who are not 99ers times are hard scross the pond ... Magic MoneyNot so long ago politicians and bankers were full of confidence bordering on hubris and they were telling us the good times for the economy could go on for ever. So where did it all go wrong. When did they suddenly realise the decicit was unsustainable? The finance industry blame politicians, politicians blame the finance industry...
Future Is CancelledBoth the USA and Britain are in a debt crisis of public spending that dwarfs the catastrophe of climate change. Other developed nations are crippled by interest payments on their deficits but not completely hamstrung yet. Read how irresponsible government borrowing is dragging us into he abyss... No Real Jobs In The New EconomyGordon Brown's Labour government and the failing Obama administration in the USA, feeling power slipping through their as public sector deficits grow, are trying to lull people into a false sense of security with claims the 'green' and the 'digital' economies will restore prosperity. This as a blatant lie... Property Prices To Fall Again?Despite government eforts to talk up a recovery the economy remains stubbornly stagnant. It is unsurprising really, the UK economy still relies far too much on the housing and property market and with incomes being squeezed and house prices remaining so high they are beyond the reach of first time buyers there is little change of increased activity while unemployment continues to rise. The Real Unemployment Figure
New unemployment figures released yesterday show unemployment fell by 0.1% in the three months December to FebruarY. Contained in the figures was a statistic that undermines government talk of an economic upturn. This is the number of people in work. Headline unemployment has fallen the number of people in work has also fallen. What's going on? Bond Villain Targets Britain's Future by John De Roe.
Bill Gross, the world's biggest bond investor might have voted for Obama hnd has some sympathy for Labour because they talk of creating jobs, but he thinks the British economy is in worse shape than anyone is going to admit and is quite willing to take advantage of our vulnerability." Holy City

Were I able to muster the kind of blind faith Mr. Chivers and other "science" nerds place in statistics I would invest it in one of the traditional religions and at least be able to convince myself there is a chance of being resurrected into the life eternal.
