    Europe heading for a 'lost decade' and the Euro will destroy Europe: Soros

    George Soros says that Europe is heading for a 'lost decade' or even longer like that of South America in the 80's and Japan in the 90's. He also says that the Euro will destroy the European Union politically as the German driven austerity takes its toll.

    Soros is the man... laughing all to way from the bank with his mega euros. As soon as he says something not so self serving I may take his words on board or boards.ie for that matter

    He is the guy who broke Britains membership of the ERM, making billions in the process and costing jobs in the UK when he did it.

    Soros only cares about Soros.

    Soros and the hedge funds impose discipline where politicians take the easy populist route.
