If Nicky goes, so goes France.
Germany is doing well; though it's due in large part to the Mittelstan. They have invested in vocational schools, most of their manufacturing is to produce products for niche markets (majority of all machinery used in China, is German made), their luxuary car market in Asia has exploded in the last ten years, entitlement programs are lean (Germans still have their pride and looking for ways to get on the public dole isn't very acceptable there, though it's changing with the younger generation), the Germanic business model is to hold the least amount of debt as a trade off for slower more reliable growth, their R&D departments receive the bulk of the companies financing compared the sales and marketing departments in the US; that speaks volumes. Where smaller companies in the US are ham-strung by highest taxes in the industrialized world, endless bureaucratic red tape, put in place so there can be even more government employees, German government understand having things streamlined and efficient (how very German!) is the most productive way to run a government and encourage growth.
Once a people enjoy being given something, instead of producing something, it's impossible to turn the mentality around.

The sooner the better.
It was a right wing govt that got Greece into the mess that it is in.
Your capitalist hell is a shining example of how Europeans do not want to live.

Funny thing about those socialist French is that economic mobility (the ability to rise above the socioeconomic station of your birth) is greater in France than in the US. Those other horrible European Social Democracies like Denmark, Sweden, Finland and the Netherlands, rank higher than the US in overall Prosperity Indices.
While Americans crow endlessly about their superiority, many European countries are beginning to surpass the US in education, health, upward mobility, child mortality, and overall quality of life. This of course can only mean one thing, European collapse must be eminent.
Education, it does the brain good.

Germany is doing fine and France is holding on better than the US. Austerity is NOT the way to revive a poor economy. The Italians finally got rid of Berlusconi. Their new PM sees government spending as the way to boost the Italian economy.
The Greeks are rioting because the government wants to cut the minimum wage, lay off a third of government workers after cutting all of their salaries and cut pensions. Wouldn't you riot too if you were having your pay cut or having your Social Security payments cut to satisfy foreign speculators?
