The math is predictably suspect. The headlines are characteristically deceptive. The self-congratulation is pathetic as usual. And the announced 800 billion euro cap for the European rescue fund isn’t, predictably, anything like that amount in reality. It’s really just the same old 500 billion European Stability Mechanism that was in place before the meeting.
