According to Mr. Schäuble's revolutionary governance model, Europe should move in one of two main directions: either to have a European government that is elected by the EU Parliament, as the Bundestag elects the German chancellor; or to have an EU President that is elected directly by the European people as in France and the US.

    • Guess what, those liers are keeping hopes in the people while they gain time to save bankers. Once the bankers are saved they will let the systems breaks because the big bill wiill be paid as always by silly people like us. Germans should know they will pay most part of that big bill. Angela is working on this day by day.

      Europe: You cannot have monetary union without political union.
      USA: it has only system of government in the world that actually works.

      Exactly, but they will fail to save the banks. Only 1 solution left, massive devaluation of the euro

      Can't agree with you on that one, the US political system is completely corrupted (check out documentary Park Avenue 740). Political influence is bought, lobbyist are literally writing the bills. It's a f.u. system, insane really.
      Wouldn't prefer that system over the Europeans, which of course has it's weaknesses.

      Several US States are completely broke, the US is broke but unlimited amounts of dollars are printed. Even Americans themselves recognize this is a unsustainable situation. So no reason to think the grass is greener on the other side.

      Yes it has problems and will always have problems but as far as systems of governments go, it's the lesser of all evils.
