They could cut poverty in the EU by half by giving greece, spain, portugal and Italy their old currency back which represent their economic power (or rather lack of power) so they become more competitive by devaluation?

This also would reduce the performance differences between the member states without that stupid french proposal of limiting german exports (seems like the commies are back to cripple our economy).

All the funds are paid by the governments is borrower from the same bannisters that own the organizations that are paid. Hear that" Give more money" Well who has to pay back the loans? The people you you put them in an eternal state of slavery via debt. You will not win.

Good governance does that include a sub replacement birthrate leading to extinction of European culture.....

The message is good, that goes without saying, but I like the way this was put together. It is pleasing to look at and keeps you interested 'till the end. Good work!
