EU was a wonderful idea! United people, economies, no borders (Schengen countries) could have made EU one of the World's superpowers! Unfortunately, I'm starting to suspect EU is just a CIA project, created to cause harm to US enemies at the expense of European countries. Suicidal financial and political decisions, along with openly anti-privacy, anti-cash, anti-bitcoin stance are dragging this union into the abyss.

The problem I have with the EU is that most of the problems it 'fixes' are problems that are caused by governments in the first place (borders, trade restrictions etc). Get out of the way (as much as possible) and let people do their thing and things are good.
