15th blog for the economy of France

I came across nytimes.com once again and found an article that actually has to do with France and Germany. France and Germany have always been the part that kind of held up the European Union but lately these two countries have not been getting along due to problems with Greece and its issues with debt. Supposedly because of the Greek Debt crisis, it triggered Germany to become more resistant of the demands Europe has. France and Germany have been bumping heads on the policy concerning Russia, China, and Iran. Because of this, when it comes down to discussing European Foreign Policy, it becomes hard to talk about certain important issues.

France has always been a country that puts alot of effort trying to create unity and pride between the countries of Europe. Therefore, another reason France bumped heads with Germany was because Germany was not putting a large enough effort into helping Greece and the debt crisis.

A root of some of these issues comes from the currency, Euro. The French believe that the Euro is something that would benefit Europe, uniting them and bringing better times; where the Germans disagree. French wants a more European economic government while Germany does not want to give up the control of the economy.

It seems to me that at one time France and Germany once held up the European Union but after these critical problems, clearly these two countries will not be doing that while dealing with such differences.
