Nothing wrong with the EU, a lot wrong with the Euro.
Taking away a countries ability to set interest rates is a bad idea.
When Spain was booming, Germany and France weren't so interest rates kept getting cut when here they should have been going up to stop inflation.
They ran a budget surplus for years, and people just chucked money at the country, so it got spunked on stupid vanity projects. Every community had to build something they didn't really need cause the next community had built something.
