Great interviews.I agree, interest free loans. Banks should be able to take risks at their own expense. If they fail, they fail.

euro is only strong because of our DM, the other countries are just decoration.

@Demosthenes0725 might be kinda hard to believe but Russians are number 1 oil producer, and gas exporter... Real things, not fake ass currency backed by nothing

@sallyos06460 How do u keep a bank running with interest free loans?

This is more like a British take on the Euro. It's bound to be negative;-) Wishful thinking!

[Ledarifique]

Ohh 7 billion pounds ohhhhh didums. France poured 500 billion and Germany 335 billion to Spain. Now that's real dedication. Britain can be as pompous as it likes pretending to be a world power with big influence. Well you are not in the top 5 economies, however France and Germany are. Perhaps the euro is facing quite a significant bump in the road but ultimately it is a worthwhile project.

@annoloki

Very kind of you to explain things in a way that my primitive intellect would understand. How do you suggest we help the people though? The only solutions being offered are to plunge the country further into debt. Are you for or against the bailout and what is your reasoning?

[annoloki]

@greatbritain22 I'm ignorant because I disagree with you. Riiiiiiight. No wonder you agree with him.
