Welcome to European Tribune. It's gone a bit quiet around here these days, but it's still going.

Maastricht embedded Germany's strong money ideology - one we had to live with already anyway - not the anti-tax anti-government one.

What? This was in Maastricht already:

Overdraft facilities or any other type of credit facility with the European Central Bank or with the central banks of the Member States (hereinafter referred to as `national central banks') in favour of Union institutions, bodies, offices or agencies, central governments, regional, local or other public authorities, other bodies governed by public law, or public undertakings of Member States shall be prohibited, as shall the purchase directly from them by the European Central Bank or national central banks of debt instruments.
That is German anti-government ideology.

There are three stories about the euro crisis: the Republican story, the German story, and the truth. -- Paul Krugman
