| | Guest | Will Europe survive 2007? No.. I think it will all collapse and the French and Germans will be
destitute in the streets, scratching around for bread and wearing dirty
clothes.. looking like the dirty frogs and krauts they are...
Alternatively... they'll continue as they have since the start of the
european project, by going from strength to strength while economist
readers sit around daydreaming...

At least WalMart will have cheap goods from factories in China to sell.
Now if we can only figure out where to find folks with money to buy
