LTRO: Criminal Political Behaviour by Merkozy with Van Rompuy as the Marionette
Wednesday, 29 February 2012 | 
John A Morrison
Think about it, as LTRO triggers on the leap day TODAY, why is the Central Bank being forced to do this against its will? The European monetary transmission mechanism doesn't have an IMF-Equivalent; so not only is the euro a political mishmash at the concept level its a stool (sic) on two legs at the practical institutional level.
EU Money supply is at rock bottom, the pump at the 'heart' of European money supply is on life support.
That 'life support' is LTRO from the Central Bank, right? The Central Bank should be independent right? It shouldn't be pumping up the very thing that it is chartered to control, that is perversity by definition right?

This "six-pack" was tabled by the Commission exactly one year ago as part of its comprehensive response to the financial and economic crisis. It has been the subject of sometimes tough negotiations between the Council of Ministers and the European Parliament.
Paul Donovan - UBS: the euro is like the Hotel California: once you join you can never leave

‘You can check-out any time you like, but you can never leave’
A potential ‘complete’ solution to the crisis is to abolish the euro or kick troubled countries out of the monetary union. While there is a satisfying simplicity to these options, they should only be thought of as last-ditch alternatives. The cost of reinstating a sovereign currency would be horrendous. As Paul Donovan, deputy chief global economist at UBS said on Bloomberg Radio, “the euro is like the Hotel California: once you join you can never leave”.
