As a European it is painful to see that I was right. Hopefully we learn the lesson.

Failure to restore order may leave Italy joining Greece, Portugal and Ireland in seeking outside help. The first port of call would likely be the 440-billion euro European Financial Stability Facility. A country can now tap a precautionary promise of support of up to 10 percent of its gross domestic product -- about 160 billion euros in Italy’s case.

The Euro was a wrong idea -- designed and implemented by few bureaucrats without the consent of the Europeans. They created a monster. Some famous economist even got the Nobel Prize for concocting the currency.

The Euro is destroying a great continent full of history and resources. They made it a bureaucratic nightmare. A financial quagmire.

This is what happens when we let bureaucrats take charge of how to run our lives and refuse to take personal responsibility. It is one more example of the damage bureaucrats can do when they decide to tell us how to live. What is best for us. How do they know?

Shame! Shame! Shame!
