Passing is one thing. They waste everyone's time by threatening to pass idiotic legislation every 6 months. But perhaps that is the goal so people do not investigate why the EU is getting poorer and all money goes into housing and healthcare.
- bigfudge 2y agoThe median EU citizen is not getting poorer relative to the median US citizen. Don't confuse growing income inequality with "national wealth".
- hartator 2y agoGDP per capita of EU used to be higher than the US.

- rsynnott 2y agoI'm not sure that's ever been true on PPP? It may have been on a nominal basis from time to time due to a weak dollar (1 EUR hit 1.60 USD or so during the financial crisis), but that's of limited interest for the average person.
