ECB pledges unlimited(?) resources to combat the crisis

http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2012-07-26/draghi-says-ecb-to-do-whatever…

I think this news is big, despite whether or not it will be successful in the long run.

The market is edging up hugely, and the U.S. futures are rising.

Will this be a game-changer on the sovereign debt crisis in Europe?

But isn't this idea already strongly rejected from Germany? Does the ECB president has the LEGAL mandate to actually say this??

I died a little bit inside when I read this. Talk is cheap. Euro leaders are on vacation and someone needed to calm the markets, so good 'ol Mario came out and did the Bernanke dance. Look, you can put this off however you want but at the end of the day you can' t keep bailing everything out. It just won't work. You can print money to delay the fall, but you'll fall nonetheless. We are chasing our own tails here. Austerity, obviously, sucks. That's the point of it. Cut to sustainable levels long term. Stop fucking our kids over again and again because you can't admit that you overspent in the first place. This whole "oh! but we need to grow!" is insane. You won't get growth when the only place to get it is by spending and inflating. Print and spend all you want, but I guarantee that you won't end up with any real growth eventually. Hell, even Keynes himself would shake his head at what's going on.
