Just like everything else.

If they wanted to stop that, they would nationalize all the banks. THEN they could talk about a fiscal union, because the nations' politicians would be in charge of the finance (for once), and be able to make it stick...and any stimulus would go to demand, preferably through transfer payments to the people.

But that would be socialism! (And not neoliberal globalism).
