Eurozone: Plan B Where "B" Stands for Bull...
The breakup of the euro is now considered inevitable, even by those who swear in public that the euro is "irreversible". The European Union itself is reportedly working on a Plan B, but judging from what has come out of Brussels, Berlin and London, the B stands for bullshit... i.e. it will not work!
Finnish Foreign Minister Erkki Tuomioja let the cat out of the bag, in a discussion with a Daily Telegraph correspondent (Aug. 16): "We have to face openly the possibility of a euro-break up", he said. "Our officials, like everybody else and like every general staff, have some sort of operational plan for any eventuality."
Then, on Aug. 18, the Süddeutsche Zeitung reported that EU governments are discussing a "Plan B" which contemplates an orderly exit of Greece from the Eurozone. According to the SZ, no definite plan has been laid out, because much depends on what the German Constitutional Court will say on the ESM, and on what the Troika will say on Greece. If the latter does not recommend a further payment to Athens in September, Greece might be left with no other option than to return to the drachma.
So the "Plan B" being discussed by EU governments is aimed at "strengthening" the remaining part of the Eurozone. This would include expanding financial aid to Ireland and Portugal, extending ESM loans plus ECB support to Spain and Italy, and concrete steps towards a banking union and EU governance. EU leaders believe, according to the SZ, that “single measures taken so far have improved the situation, but they have not re-established the confidence of the citizens and the markets in the euro". In other words, a continuation of the Bruening policy which is demolishing national economies.
That is also the case with the "Plan B" pushed by the London Economist, which published a cover story Aug. 11 dedicated to Merkel's "temptation" to amputate one part of the Eurozone in order to save the rest. The Economist argues that both a "small" amputation (Greece only) and a "bolder" one (Spain, Ireland, Portugal and Cyprus) would, in the end, be more expensive for Germany than going the full way towards a political union and "mutualization" of the Eurozone debt.
The main concern of The Economist, of course, to rescue the the City of London paper empire, which would be mortally hit by a break-up of the euro, or even a partial debt cancellation.
Any Plan B which does not contemplate a Glass-Steagall standard, in order to protect productive categories of debt and to dump the rest, is not going to work. Any Plan B that is aimed at rescuing the euro rather than national economies is an insane proposition.
