The problem(s) are very simple.

The idea that a nation like Germany can browbeat most, if not all of Europe into their vision of a banking system run by their vision of a political system, seems less than optimal, unless they have a vision.

The idea that a small country like Greece can spend wealth that it has no way of generating via it's own economic system is also ludicrous.

Thus, one can argue that the problems of Europe globally fall into the two buckets.

If you want to macro analyze the differences between Spain, Italy, and Greece, so be it. But they are still countries that can not or will not attempt to fix their financial problems.

Instead they have become dependent on the other EU parties to bail them out.

And Germany seems to be very willing to take the lead...

Why?????
