Europe can be strong without Euro

Uniting nations under a single currency is a bad idea, Austrian billionaire-turned-politician Frank Stronach told Russia Today. The Eurozone's single currency is crippling the EU, and Stronach aims to demonstrate to the world that it can live without the euro

Q. “Half of the jobs in Austria are based on exports. If Austria leaves the euro-zone, then won't those jobs will be at risk?

A. “No, I think it would be the other way around.”

Correct. Average Americans believe the lie that the U.S. government has limited money. Europeans believe the lie that they must have the euro currency. If Europeans dump the euro, they will still have the American-style lie, but it would be a start.

Mr. Stronach says Austria has a position of neutrality. Well okay, but this "neutrality" comes and goes. In 2002 there were 75 Austrian soldiers in Afghanistan, and in 2005 there were a hundred. Now there are only a handful. But he's probably referring to the fact that Austria is not a member of NATO.

I don’t think he has a chance, but I’d like to see him in office.
