The Wall Street Journal published an article on Monday, July 11, 2011, “EU Calls Top Offiicals To Meet On Greece Aid”, to announce that Herman van Rompuy, the EU President, called a meeting of top EU policy makers to discuss plans for the second bailout of Greece, including President of the ECB Jean-Claude Trichet, Luxembourg Prime Minister Jean-Claude Juncker, European Commission President Jose Manuel Barroso, and EU Economy Commissioner Olli Rehn. They are to meet today in Brussels.

But really what good are endless meetings going to do? There is already a meeting of a group of EU finance ministers today in Brussels also? There are more meetings every single week. They rehash the same proposals. Sometimes they pretend to come up with new ones, which are new only because they are worded differently.

In this blog I have previously discussed how this is all ipolitics on the part of Germany to please its voters who are deadset against Greece. But really the question is how Anglo can Germany become in its economic policy? This is a country that didn’t do much with colonies in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Hitler wanted to rely on England to take care of an empire in the Far East and other far flung places for him. But Germany can no longer shun such responsibilities. If it wants to create an economic empire in Europe, it must pay for one in the same style the United States or Great Britain would.
