European states through the ECB if in teh Euro are paying to offset teh debts of the countries (first Greece) that are defaulting on their debts (Greece 50%, ? others to follow). Then the other states can maintain micro economic stability and confidence in the markets as occurred to day. That way the banks are seperated from investment and retail banking and protests won't be so big or severe if at all and there'll hopefully be less of an energy shortfall this winter as the Euro countries will be able to pay Russia and other states.
