I’ve been struggling with a metaphor to describe the state of affairs in Europe. I’ve got it now. It’s a bad marriage . All parties now realize they’d be better off ending it except they can’t afford the divorce. At some point, my guess is that Germany answers the question, “Why are euro divorces so expensive? Because they’re worth it.” or do they just learn to live together and make the best of it. I don’t know the German psyche well enough to answer that one. Perhaps one of our readers will hazard a guess?
