Lets Get Real:
What do France, Italy and Spain have in common, more debt than they can handle and a out of control welfare state, of course they are not going to support cuts in the EU Budget, they have major internal problems that are leading these Countries over a cliff with no safety net. The UK and Germany in a tough time of austerity want a slim down EU, one that lives in the real world, the welfare state Countries expect the German and UK taxpayer to bail them OUT. Those days are over folks, if you debase the Euro any more it becomes worthless, go ask the Weimar Germans what came NEXT. Yes folks, the EU has to live within its means, not spend money it does not have, the good days are well and truly over, time to suck in that bloated welfare state gut and go for big run, and no stops for expensive lunches or very fine wine. If the EU is not to become a JOKE, it has to grow or it will wither away, nothing last forever folks, we walk through time but we are not masters of time.
