I'm wondering today if the fall of the Dutch government signals the beginning of a new decline in the EU. Will the EU be able to keep a hard line on spending if stalwart Netherlands balks? It will be hard on the people whether its pensions, or a failed financial system crushed by defaults and debt. For the US, where things are beginning to heal, this might just be the tug that tears open the recession wound again.
