Unfortunately these liabilities are too great hence we have bailouts because people dont want to crystalise the losses.

The longer this goes on the more dominoes will fall and when dominoes fall unless you take a few out it doesnt stop.
You don't get it, we already pulled back all investment in the south and all the money to pay for it. The Netherlands does not not need the European union we get along with Germany and the UK just fine. The rest of Europe is dead weight for us unless you get something out of being adventurous
