>>Taleb Says Euro Breakup 'Not a Big Deal'<<

Spexit?...

6 reasons Spain will leave the euro first
Commentary: Spain is too big to rescue, and doesn’t want it anyway
marketwatch.com

The Spanish are a lot more likely to pull out of the euro than the Greeks, or indeed any of the peripheral countries. They are too big to rescue, they have no political hang-ups about rupturing their relations with the European Union, they are already fed up with austerity, and there is a bigger Spanish-speaking world for them to grow into. There are few good reasons for the country to stay in the euro — and little sign it has the will to endure the sacrifices the currency will demand of them.

there will be a lot of fun currencies

Interesting point there.. heretofore all talk has been Drachma this and Drachma that.. with a little Deutche Mark thrown in for spice..

The best thing Europe ever did is managing to have members bickering with each other, so you don't have the big government,

So I am thinking possibly that bickering is not all bad..

  • US has bickering and big government, two entrenched parties, and little hope for an independent..
  • Europe has bickering and many government, is regionalized
  • Canada has bickering, is regionalized, has big government, but when a party pi$$es off the participating electorate too much it gets destroyed..
We'll likely get to see which is better or EU government gets bigger which changes things a bit :O)
