GERMAN EURO RULING

Karlsruhe Demands Greater Parliamentary Role in Bailouts
Germany's highest court has rejected three lawsuits against euro bailout
measures, but its ruling also strengthens the role of the German
parliament in determining aid for heavily indebted euro-zone countries.
The new procedures are more democratic, but they could also lead to
fresh turbulence on the finance markets.

Swiss Franc Decision Should Be a Lesson for Euro Critics
The Swiss decision on Tuesday to peg its currency to the euro

"The US no longer does decisions. It can neither stop the drug traffic nor legalize it. It can neither win wars nor abandon them, neither make money nor stop spending it, neither stop immigration nor assimilate the immigrants. Washington can beat its thumb with a hammer, yes, and notice that it hurts, but it can't stop beating its thumb. That would take a decision, and Washington doesn't do decisions." - Fred Reed
