Getiing increasingly obvious Germany wants Greece to exit w/o defaulting. Imo if that happens so- quite soon - EURx will at most not drop, then start to climb.

Back in the early 80's there was much talk of work sharing following mechanisation. Everyone got excited at the prospect of 20hr working week. It never happened and now we start to see the results with perma unemployed and little if any hope for full employment again.

US VIEW: Sherry Cooper and Robert Kavcic of BMO Capital Markets, in
their "State Monitor" of US economic trends, note that economic
performance various regionally, with ranking high in states "with
relatively high exposure to energy, as exploration and drilling activity
in the Bakken formation continues to fuel growth." The economists note
that mining sector employment has risen 26% in the past 2 years,
compared to private non-farm payroll growth of only 3.4%. Agricultural
states are doing well also, "with farmland values rising at a strong
clip." Manufacturing intensive states are seeing activity pick-up as
well, and while the level of employment remains depressed, "job growth
in the sector hit 2% in 2011, the fastest clip since 1994." Overall
consumer confidence has been bolstered by rising stocks and an easing of
mid-2011 political tensions. "Confidence remains highest in parts of the
midwest and south central regions, with exposure to energy and
agriculture," they say.
