What could possibly go wrong? :shrug:

re: your post... if Hitler's goal had been for Germany to financially support all of southern Europe instead, of, say, establishing a totalitarian nightmare and killing all the Jews, then yes, the EU could be seen as "accomplishing for them..." whatever.


The reality is, it was another one of those things that seemed like a good idea at the time, but you have vastly different countries with vastly different political and social systems (not to mention, as others have, work ethic and paying taxes ethos) and the wheels are starting to come off the entire deal.

'Course, for the people who predicted the EU was going to kick our economic ass, this is an unexpected turn of events.
