Angela Merkel and her party remain clueless about the economic history of Germany which has been made apparent through her insistence upon austerity that tearing the EU apart at the seams. This is like blaming Trump for Hillary’s loss. Merkel’s belief that the quantity of money is the cause of inflation has been proven dead wrong after the central bank’s quantitative easing since 2008 has had no impact on inflation for the past 8 years. At what point does one admit error? Never?

German Vice Chancellor Sigmar Gabriel told Der Spiegel magazine that the breakup of the EU is no longer unthinkable because of Merkel’s desperate clinging to austerity. He asked Merkel ,”[W]hat would be more costly for Germany: for France to be allowed to have half a percentage point more deficit, or for Marine Le Pen to become president?” He is still waiting for Merkel to answer that question.

Her economic policies of austerity have sent Europe into an economic depression, and opening arms to refugees has sent Europe into a terrorist crisis. One has to ask, just how long can Europe endure this person who is dictating policy to the rest of Europe?

Nicola Sturgeon, the  First Minister of Scotland and the leader of the Scottish National Party (SNP), has said she is determined for Scotland to respect the decision to remain in the EU in 2017. Unionist party leaders urged her to abandon threats of a second independence referendum. Sturgeon is clearly uninformed and will lead Scotland to total economic disaster. She stupidly believes that the EU is somehow fantastic.

The top export market for Scotland is not Europe, but the USA. Sturgeon, like many other career politicians, is clueless when it comes to economics. She is just incompetent in this respect and will lead Scotland to an economic abyss all because she want to separate from England. That single issue, she fails to understand, does not mean you stay in the EU.
