‘France
and other, weaker EU members have begun pushing for “growth.” This in of itself
reveals how clueless the political elite in the EU are (economic growth in
Europe is synonymous with living beyond one’s means and/or living off of others…
the very policies that have lead to the EU Crisis).
Indeed,
this shift from focusing on austerity to growth is really just a switch from
one side of a coin to the other… without actually addressing the fact that the
coin itself has no value as a concept.
Let
me explain.
Both
growth and austerity are political hot buttons that fail to address the core
issues plaguing the Euro-zone. Those core issues are:
1)
Age demographics, which courtesy of a welfare state translates
into…
2)
Massive unfunded liabilities and debt overhang that stifles growth…
3)
And an unwillingness to innovate or pursue democratic capitalism
When
political leaders talk about austerity today, they’re not even actually
addressing real austerity.
France, for instance, is balking at the prospect of submitting to more “austerity measures” when it actually increased its spending by $62 billion
from 2009-2011.
That’s austerity?
Indeed,
the whole exercise becomes a total joke when you realize that as far back as
2004 France had unfunded liabilities (social programs, pensions, etc) equal to
over 500% of its GDP. As Jagadeesh Gokhale of the Cato Institute notes, in order to meet these
needs without increasing taxes,
Put

Speaking
of which, spending beyond one’s means is precisely what EU leaders are
referring to when they talk about “growth.” For the EU, economic growth is
synonymous with spending money (especially if it’s someone else’s
money), NOT economic innovation or organic growth from small business.
As I
mentioned before, the “austerity” and “growth” to which EU leaders refer are
simply two sides of the same coin: that of assuming that massive problems can
be dealt with superficially. It’s akin to polishing the brass on the Titanic as
it sinks: in the short term, you’re making a small difference, but in the big
picture, you’re ignoring the very real, enormous problem you need to tackle.
Those
enormous problems are a massive debt overhang… which cannot be dealt with by
the ECB, Fed, or even the IMF at this point. The Fed has already openly
admitted that it cannot perform more aggressive easing (it is an election year
in the
That’s
the real deal here. And it’s all happening at a time when EU sovereigns,
corporations and banks need to roll over TRILLIONS of Euros in debt at the same
time as they need to issue hundreds of billions of Euros in new debt.
On
that note I fully believe that the EU will collapse before the end of the
summer. So if you have not taken steps to prepare for the end of the EU (and
its impact on the
