NOT a good time for our country to be $15T in debt and spending tons of borrowed money. That's for sure!
The EU monetary system has been like "the Empouror in his new clothes" for some time. A similar thing could be said for any country spending well beyond its means.
As others have commented, a single currency without a single central bank is doomed to failure.
Like in many parts of the world, there are a lot of EU moms & dads hurting badly because of very poor government decisions.
