#1 Hmmm, taxation and spending by unelected officials with no oversight, what could possibly go wrong? The EU members should see this as a cheap lesson and walk away now. OTH this is nowhere near the amount mis-spent/stolen/wasted under teh un Oil for Dictators program so maybe they should give them a second shot.

#2 Five years to find 6.4 bil?

Yeah, that should be long out of the European public's attention span by then...

#3 It is too early to measure us, you should measure us five years from now.

Yeah. We hope to hit a hundred billion by then.

#4 "Why five yrs? We figure it will take another yr to learn how it was done,a yr to figure out how we can do it,then three yrs of filling our bank accounts in the Caymans. We feel 3 yrs will be enough,we're not greedy."
