The idea of shifting some part of EU members’ existing government debt to a European bond may be technically appealing, but it will work only if there is a return to the British principles of 1688 (or the principles of the American Revolution). Taxpayers across the EU must have the sense that they control what they owe – and that they will not be held responsible for the mistakes and frauds of the unholy alliance between irresponsible finance and irresponsible government.
将一部分欧盟成员国现有债务转化为欧盟债券的想法或许在技术上是可行的，但只有在回复到1688年的英国原则（或者美国革命的原则）之后才能真正发挥其效用。欧盟的纳税人必须明白自己只能为自己控制之下的债务负责——而不应为那些不负责任的金融界和不负责任的政府之间的邪恶同盟所造下的罪孽负责。
