In reply to the discussion: Mitt Romney Says Obama Too Cozy With Europe [View all]DonCoquixote
(13,963 posts)61. Euro welfare states
The EU was doing quite well until the Brits and Germans decided that, even though they liked the idea of an EU, they did not want to pay for it. Granted, france helped when they rejected the Masstrict treaty, which resulted in gerhard Schroder being toss out because while many germans tries to scarifice, the french just said "we do not need to obey our own rules." The Germans remembered that, and as a result, will gladly let the Euro hang. In short, it is because the main states of the EU are acting like Americans that they are loosing, if they kept the original espirit de corps, they might be the last outpost of civilization before Red China ruins the world.
