Germany did not want to be a member of the ‘Eurozone’ but was forced to comply at the time of the reunification of Germany. France promised to refuse entry of a unified Germany to the EU market. At that time, France held power over all members of the European Common Market.

Great Britain was not an original member because it refused to all of the ideas put forth by France. Margaret Thatcher, that horrible conservative, maintained that Britain would continue to use the Pound rather than surrender its power over its currency and financial stability. Today we face the very real prospect that Great Britain and Germany will choose to no longer support the bankrupt governments of Europe.

The problems of Greece, Italy, Spain etc. are mirror images of what we are starting to face here. We are seeing the consequences of liberal politician’s coupled with civil service unions. Stockton California’s bankruptcy is simply a preview. If we fail to bring civil service compensation in line with the private sector and fail to stop the continued growth of government, we will become Greece in the very near future. Our choice is clear – continue to pay outrageous salaries and retirement pay to Civil Servants or go bankrupt.
