The United States of Europe: A Proposed Economic Government

The American Dream


Excerpt:
The integration of Europe is about to go to another level. As the European debt crisis deepens, there are cries all over the EU for full economic integration in Europe.

On Wednesday, French President Nicolas Sarkozy and German Chancellor Angela Merkel sent a letter to European Council President Herman Van Rompuy which stated that they want a new "economic government" for Europe to be formed...

While some are applauding the possibility of increased integration in the eurozone, others are warning about the potential consequences.

Eurozone authorities would help a member state in serious economic difficulties before it needed to approach the International Monetary Fund because of a debt-default risk, according to a senior European Union policymaker.
