In the 1980s/1990s, there were thirty-odd things which you needed an EU-device to correct or revolutionize commerce in Europe. The problem is...once the thirty-odd things were fixed/resolved....the EU then lingered and started to fix things which weren’t on the list before. They are now working to create new problems.
It probably would help to send the whole EU congregation home every 90 days for 3-months of meeting with citizens of their country.
“...then lingered and started to fix things which weren’t on the list before. They are now working to create new problems.”
The EU was the subject of your statement above and I’m pretty sure you realize it is a universal truth about unrestrained government throughout time. It depends on how you measure such things in US history as to when government “started to fix things” which were not previously counted as problems while creating new problems. I believe a strong case could made that many of the Founders remaining alive in the early 19th Century were not happy with the performance of their creation.
