Euro, the Horror Movie (Kunstler)

4. Jeebus...he is makig grim grim statements.
"only a matter of months before the Iberian peninsula goes under too......."

"The UK is out of oil, out of banking cred (which is all it had the last forty years), and out of time. The one thing they have a lot of is bad paper hiding in their bank vaults -- enough to blow that black hole of capital even wider."

"We're all werewolves now."
