    So America would bale out poor nations without any thought of personal gain for itself would it? Pardon me while I roll on the floor in hysterics.
    Personally I would keep your helpful suggestions for your own country, by god they need all the help they can get right now.
    As for the EU I am sure it will try very hard to cope without your helpful comments.

    It's not their own money.

    Look, I don't have anything against Germany, after all every country has a right to look after their own interests. But the question is, what is Germany's interest? Why do they encourage and entice nations to join the EU, and then try to remake them in their own image - and I don't mean only financially.

    Are they striving for a boundary-less and liberal one world order?

    We are not talking about other countries, we are talking about the principles the EU was formed on. As for our federal government, well the wealthier states have been helping the poorer ones ever since our countries inception - otherwise they would have a hard time getting anything passed in congress.

    How do you know what Italy lost by being a member of the EU, and what they contributed to the EU as a member? Right now they are the third wealthiest nation in the EU. I know that the prosperous north was so upset at losing the Russian market because of the sanctions, that the Veneto was thinking of seceding from Italy.

    Nobody makes Italy to be part of the EU. Look at the UK. Doing fine loosing more money than they ever paid to the EU combined over all the years they were part of the EU.

    As an Italian I would pay 25% less taxes, my pension would be 20% higher and I would retire at least 6 years earlier. If the Italian government needs more money they should tax their people like Germany.

    Really?? The last time I heard you have 40 million on the bread line and rising and it will be millions more after the present crises is over. You would do well to confine remarks to your own country; they will need all the help they can get.
    Have you ever been to Europe? By reading your post’s I suspect not. Every member of the EU has six week’s holiday a year, its statuary. How many weeks holiday does America give its workers? We don’t have to sell our homes to pay for a heart bypass and live in a trailer for the rest of our lives etc etc.
    Oh, one further correction, the UK is still in the EU, it dos'nt leave until the end of 2020.
