I Guess that Europeans are divided into two groups. Ond wants to see some version of the "United States of Europe" where countrys give yp more and more of their national identity and the second wants to develop a lose economic alliance uniting against the rest of the earth. Good Luck on reconciling these conflicting ideas. What is clear to me is that the more that the Euro Socialist Serf mentality group gains control, the more Europe will continue to misallocate resources and foster waste so that they can develope a small number of "poster boy successes" Hopefully, some of that 235 billion will be used to help farmers eliminate hoof and mouth disease AND mad cow disease. Then they should restore heards with healthy animals. This should be done with the same zeal with which they attempt to prevent diseased bananas from destroying the European banana crop.

Elmatador, not to claim that latin America is the similar to US as east Europe is to EU, still happy that some see some similarity. And after that there is the job of all the other former colonies. Another solution besides direct subsidies might of course be to pay a regular pay for bananas, coffee, sugar, rice, underwear and t-shirts, a pay which leaves enought to build that infrastructure, education and healthcare locally. We are not talking rocket science here, nor rocket technology?? (I hope) Ilmarinen. P.S. Don't you have a lot of museums and institutions from the former ruling railroad-elite in US?? Even someone who first was the master of tax free trade, then Wall Street and then cleaned up some insider trading because he knew most tricks, and got a son elected president?? My point is that if there is not enough money for education and healthcare for all, one has to start with the elite?? (and taking care of the bugs in the trickle down theory, which obviously hasn't worked, because then there wouldn't be any problems anymore) P.P.S. Investing is usually also a question on who takes what proportion of the gain, and what proportion of the loss, kind of like 3G auctions and Nokia 3G financing?? (which then gets into the question of when the big one can take a loss just like that, and the small one has to go bankrupt for some puny small thing)
