\nFan Ho The Evening of Life <\/b>1963<\/center>\u201cForget Germany, Spain Is The Real Problem\u201d, reads a headline. Eh\u2026 no. Germany is definitely the problem in Europe. Spain is a bit player. That doesn\u2019t mean nothing major could happen in Spain in its fight with Catalonia, and soon, but Spain, like all EU nations, is a de facto province of Germany.<\/p>\n

What matters in the end is how Brussels and Merkel deal with Spain. And while it\u2019s tempting to say that perhaps Brussels, the EU, is the main European problem, the European Union is run exclusively by and for Germany, so that doesn\u2019t work either.<\/p>\n

The only thing that might work if you really want to find a bigger issue than Germany is if you would point at the role the incessant lies about economic conditions for people play. But that\u2019s not a European issue, that\u2019s global.<\/p>\n

The talk about how economies are recovering, how there\u2019s light at the end of the tunnel, and how any day now we\u2019ll be back to where we were at some point in time that many can not even remember. But then, at least when it comes to Europe, that happy talk comes from Germany too, to a large degree. Just wait till Draghi starts cutting his QE.<\/p>\n

You can try and tell people that they\u2019re doing just great, using the media you control, and it\u2019ll work for a stretch, if only because they want to believe it, badly, but when these same people can\u2019t even feed their children while you make such claims, you will eventually lose their attention and support. The difference between beliefs and experiences.<\/p>\n
