Welcome to the new Evil Euro-empire
That was the real purpose of the EU in the first place.
The EU is writing your budget?
One word solution...
DEFAULT!
On the one trillion Euros of sovereign debt that was force fed to European private banks by the European Central Bank.
That will get someone’s attention.
This whole “Euro Crisis” is bogus.
It is a thinly disguised effort to consolidate political power in the unelected hands of Socialist bureaucrats.
No country will voluntarily leave the Euro Zone.
And many of them will default on their sovereign debt, no matter what the bureaucrats do.
I asked this question of a Danish exchange professor I had years ago: “Why would any nation give up their soveirnty to be part of the EU?” she said it was all about cooperation and working together. I just told her, for your sake, I hope so.
