The problem with EU is neither austerity nor stimulus. The problem is that there are very few local products sold globally and locally and employment is both scarce and ill paid for the populace at large, since local industries moved to cheaper pastures in the 90&#x27;s or died from competition.<p>There is no crisis to fight in Europe, this is the &quot;new normal&quot; - unless they can get over their collective asses and move forward what schengen has started and become one grand federal state, otherwise everyone will proudly sit on their ruins in a couple decades.
