Now this topic is for the Europeans among us ...
Is the United Europe a god or a bed thing ?
For me it is, however I noticed that since the Euro was started everything has become more expensive, and people have difficulties finding jobs, as there are a lot of the former East-Europeans working for a lot less money ...
Are you havingthe same feeling ?

The good thing is the long term benefit it could bring. Europe has an economy 5 times larger than the US and suffers at the moment because the US operates very protectionist and unfair trade policies that it is able to enforce because it is so much more powerful economically than any single European country like the playground bully but were Europe united economically then the boot would be on the other foot, so to speak.
An economically united Europe would undoubtedly force US to remove its restrictive trade practices and this would be provide a massive economic boost to Europe. Without it, I think Europe will suffer from the rise of the Chinese economy. These long term gains, I think, outweigh the initial upheavals.
All the best urban
