The giant ponzi scheme we've witnessed through the property boom was EU wide. I started mentioning Ireland in more detail because I'm from the UK and have a bit more knowledge on that region is all.
My point is this fraud on a grand scale has been done in most EU countries through their banks, it's not important what bankers of what nationality committed this fraud (they all did!)
The important point is the EU politicians allowed it to happen, they are nothing more than schils to distract the voters while the con artists (bankers) steal from everyone.
The issue I have with the EU is the fact that we all know a small elite group of people in the banking sector have made a fortune from this fraud yet I'm not seeing...
1) 1000s of bankers in jail and brought to justice
2) SOCA and other EU crime agencies seizing the 100s of billions perhaps trillions of fraudulent money!
Instead what has happened, it's business as usual with the banks and their bonus culture.
We've had a whole load of scandals since the global credit crunch, LIBOR scandal etc and nothing has changed.
The people who have had to pay for this are the EU citizens, now that's just plain theft!
Privatise the profits and socialize the losses
Going forward we're going to get fucked harder and harder.
I feel sorry for countries joining the EU thinking they are going to get a better standard of living, they are not! They are signing up for debt slavery
And anyone thinking the poorer EU members being able to go to the richer EU countries to work to earn more money is a good thing, simply are not seeing the bigger picture. We're all on the hook for the bankers debt.
Short term countries will benefit - Poland is a great example of a country who has benefited greatly from the EU but long term we're all screwed as we're all slaves to the banking elite.
An EU superstate just makes it much more easier for the financial elite to fuck over everyone all in one go, so that's my issue with the whole thing.

Can't argue with the British obsession with property
But lets be clear it was the effective disbandment of the FSA in the UK that opened the flood gates for handing out stupid loans to stupid people. The whole thing was fuelled by greed but the people taking out the loans where the marks who got screwed while the bankers made their profits from this ponzi scheme.
Governments are supposed to protect their people, not fuck them over repeatedly
