> government can become and is too large to benefit the people This is gaining more steam, however its not the conservative small government (less public sector employees). Its the belief that countries should divide to be smaller nations. That way less power/money is controlled centrally. What we are getting is the direct opposite of communism in that wealth is not spread evenly and central planning is happening. Whilst I like the concept of a European currency, it fails to provide benefits for local regions with differing needs. Germany's economy is built on manufacturing whilst Greece is tourism and agriculture.
