Still crunching

So the American bail out came and went and it now transpires that we're still up the proverbial creek without a paddle. What's to blame for this terrible situation that we find ourselves in?
Individual members of the EU acting in their own interests rather than considering what's best for the EU as a whole. Now there's a surprise!
I guess it goes to show that even though we're all supposedly best EU buddies these days we still look after our own interests first. The fact that this comes as a shock to politicians is most amusing. After preaching to us all that the EU is mutually beneficial to all it's members it has become apparent that Europe's divisions run as deep as ever.
It's good to know that some things never change!
