This is how to solve problems in the Euro zone.
Create a single currency, don't bother with a single economic set of rules, over spend, borrow too much and get into financial debt that will bring the currency down.
Then tell a country outside the currency to have to pay for your screw up.
Effectively this is what the French and Germans were planning to do with their tax on the financial institutions of the UK.
The fault of the Euro zone lies with Brussels in not have strict rules, the countries who borrowed money way above their ability to repay, thinking others would rescue them, the politicians who continually bribed voters to keep them happy so they kept voting for them and then the banks. Not the other way around. If the banks had said no, the countries with massive public spending debts would be very poor and look very poor.
No worries, it will all solve itself. Croatia just joined, is this another nose in the trough?
