#1 I'm not sure what the point of this survey is, except to come up with new ways for the EU bureaucracy to throw its weight around to "fix" these things. Most of the things they cited are not things the government can fix. Far better to deal with the barriers to business formation and tax structures. But that's not what these bureaucrats are talking about. And that is why this survey is a complete farce.

#2 ZF, to me they are finally admitting that their way isn't perfect. It MIGHT be an opening to them realizing how bad their situation is. We can opnly hope this is the first incident showing they have received a good hit from the cluebat.

#3 I hope for Brett's opinion to win out in the EU, but I think Zang's is the one that will win out over their. Remember, "If an impotent, bloated bureaucracy can't solve it, pass more bloated legislation!"

#4 Yo Mediocrestan25: If EU want to ram your own ship into the Socialist iceberg, fine. Good luck.

Just kwitcherbitchen about the USA.

(though we might say "Thank EU" for such a clear example of failure, many Americans haven't awoken to the fact that "calitalism plus entitlements = socialismo")
