Too late, you began with the original statement and thus have opened an off-topic discussion.  The idea that any poster can make claims unrelated to the original topic and not expect some confrontation should another poster disagree might strike you as reasonable but not all. 

To answer your on topic question, I feel a political dissolution would be enormously beneficial to Europe and that coupled with a maintenance of a free trade zone, from which every member benefits, her citizenry would be significantly better off particular given the in political trends towards fiscal union which is a recipe for impoverishment.

This "core"could consist out of France, Germany, Denmark, the Benelux-countries, Austria  / other "possible" members: Poland, Italy, Slowenia, Czec Republic, UK, Ireland

 

 

My personal opinion by the Way is that turning back the wheel of time is not really an option, what is needed now is hard cuts in the particular countries, and the future option to remove countries from the European Union if they dont comply with the rules and orders of the European Commission that can be forced upon them according to the rules of the Maastricht treaty.  That would maybe also have a broader acceptance inside the EU; because it also concerns Germany and France which are both breaking the limit of 60% of national debt. 

Let every EU member set a 5 year-plan to overhaul their countries finances, and after that see who did their job. Than cut away the remaining cancer that doesnt seem to heal.

Oops, put the relevant response over in the Ron Paul thread. I trust you will see it there.
