Try and Run Germany Like the EU

If Germany were run like the EU, some of its Federal States would be in a calamitous state as suffered by Greece. The hypocritical pro-EU-Germans have no qualms about fiscal transfers within Germany that as "Europeans" they deny Greece.

Here is why you cannot run the EU like Germany, or like the USA for that matter:

America is a nation, Europe is not. 

America is bound by a shared culture within many cultures, a common language, within many languages, and a common identification. 

Europe is none of those things. 

This is why the American states are willing to rely on the federal government for transfers when calamity arises. 

This is why Germany has overseen the destruction of Greece and refuses any ‘reforms’ that would allow permanent fiscal transfers from some ‘federal’ body to one Member State or another. 

And the democratically-elected government in Greece behaves like a rabid neoliberal attack dog on its own people as it gains power under the banner of Socialism. 

This is why, in the face of obvious evidence that nations such as Italy and France are plunging into states of social instability, the European Commission still enforces (unequally) rigid fiscal rules that prevent the democratically-elected Member States from advancing prosperity, and, rather, enforce a pernicious austerity that impinge disproportionately on the most disadvantaged and then seep up to undermine the middle classes. 

This is why the Gilets jaunes have become a reality. They want their nation back from the technocrats who only see ratios, rules and conformity.
