The (probably unelected) person making the decisions about who could spend/borrow what would instantly become the most powerful person in the world bar none. Hitler would have been proud of the idea.<br />For this reason, even allowing for our general mood of pessismism at this dark time, this proposal will never see the light of day.<br />And by the way, are any of your four names elected officials? I think you may safely assume that bureaucrats under threat of not having a job will keep coming up with more and more crack-brained ideas until they are shuffled off into the pages of history.ernienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2948538160252327076.post-20374928588300571352012-06-26T08:22:07.092+01:002012-06-26T08:22:07.092+01:00I agree that just thinking about it makes you feel...I agree that just thinking about it makes you feel you are going mad.

Even in a flawed system like ours, I refuse to accept the authority of people who are not elected.<br /><br />On the other hand, divorcing economic levers from the grip of politicians ( oh for a truely independent central bank ), does have the advantage of decoupling the elected politicians from their habit of buying votes with other peoples money.<br /><br />But would rule from Brussels lead to free market wealth creation policies or condemn Europe to having the last flicker of private enterprise snuffed out?<br /><br />Oh, and yesterday the roads were quiet, the phones were quiet, and everyone I spoke to had a tale of woe.
