Shrinking Euro Union Seen by Creditors Who Cried for Argentina - Bloomberg ... Well really?

In my view, Argentina was entirely predictable because of the excessive dollar borrowing, but for members of the Euro zone, I suspect there is a major difference being that it's much easier just to subsidize Greece, Portugal and Ireland while exacting fiscal reform at a pace that is not terribly destructive.

There seems to be such a thing as the America disease and perhaps one should speculate whether American dollar would split up as California goes away from Texas the source of many of it's economic ills.

Such speculation makes one wonder whether the Americans eagerness to push dollars at us from all directions may require a rethink of international currencies such as the US dollar which seem to do more harm than good when used as a substitute for local currency. Crises are possibly lessened by diversification of borrowing and use of diversification foreign currencies for local currency substitutes. The problem is a lack of sophistication by banks and operators at street level.

This may change with technology for communicating currency value of a wider range of assets and liabilities. The trick is at the street level to diversify your currency portfolio.

So it was the breakup of the region locking onto the dollar or yen that we saw with the Asian and Argentinian crisis.

Is the Euro crisis not then in reality a dollar crisis?

Too many dollars used as local currency or as assets / deposits are at the root of our problems.

Sketches from scratches is a provocative blogspot that has grown out of the Wuh Lax experience. It is eclectic, which means that it might consider just about anything from the simple to the extremely difficult. A scratch can be something that is troubling me or a short line on paper. From a scratch comes a verbal sketch or image sketch of the issue or subject. Other sites have other stuff that should really be of interest to the broad reader. I try to develop themes, but variety often comes before depth. ... more!
