The more I hear of a NWO where there will only be 1 billion people left, or whatever other conspiracy is said, I have to sigh,...

But it has been proven that the local countries cannot control their own economy, they failed, and no it wasnt europe that caused it, infact the EEA saved it for many countries and their small businesses.

What was said are just empty words,again,to calm down the Markets and to buy some more Time. A part of the Media and some Politicans here in Germany are calling it for what it is ; "All Talk with no Substance"
In the End,it doesn´t adress our current Problem,the worsening of the Debt Crisis,at all. This "Crisis Meeting" was just a huge waste of Time,and this BS Proposal nothing more than something for the Sheeple/Media to have something to talk about.
It doesn´t matter if they plan/propose something if its Years away. What good does it do if they say they are working on some Laws that get implemented in 2 or 3 Years which "could" fix a Problem we have now? Nothing,nothing at all.
They have to do something now. Not later,not in a few Years,NOW
Then you get to look for employment on a stupid jobless planet.
Yay! GO NWO! Looks like your willing slaves are lining up!
FDR versus Nine Old Men: Schechter v. United States
Stocked with philosophical and economic conservatives, the U.S. Supreme Court proved to be the most consistent opponent to President Franklin Roosevelt’s New Deal programs. In 1935 the Court struck down the National Recovery Administration (NRA) as an unconstitutional exercise of legislative authority by the executive branch. The NRA was supposed to work with labor and management to develop national wage, price, and production codes that would, theoretically, have systematized and rationalized prices and wages. The labor movement and large employers welcomed the NRA codes, but smaller companies resented the NRA’s interference in their business, the domination of big business, and the administrative complexity required by adherence to the NRA’s codes. In May 1935, the Supreme Court, in the case of Schechter Poultry Corp. v. United States, invalidated the NRA and the legislation that created it. The lengthy, unanimous opinion, excerpted here, demonstrated the U.S. Supreme Court’s complete unwillingness to endorse FDR’s argument that a national crisis demanded innovation....historymatters.gmu.edu...
After President Roosevelt threatened to pack the Court to dilute the influence of the uncooperative "nine old men," a majority of the justices took to the most expansive definition of the commerce clause like a drunk to drink...
Enter Roscoe Filburn, an Ohio dairy and poultry farmer, who raised a small quantity of winter wheat — some to sell, some to feed his livestock, and some to consume. In 1940, under authority of the Agricultural Adjustment Act, the central government told Mr. Filburn that for the next year he would be limited to planting 11 acres of wheat and harvesting 20 bushels per acre. He harvested 12 acres over his allotment for consumption on his own property. When the government fined him, Mr. Filburn refused to pay.
Wickard v. Filburn got to the Supreme Court, and in 1942, the justices unanimously ruled against the farmer. The government claimed that if Mr. Filburn grew wheat for his own use, he would not be buying it — and that affected interstate commerce. It also argued that if the price of wheat rose, which is what the government wanted, Mr. Filburn might be tempted to sell his surplus wheat in the interstate market, thwarting the government's objective. The Supreme Court bought it.
The Court's opinion must be quoted to be believed:
[The wheat] supplies a need of the man who grew it which would otherwise be reflected by purchases in the open market. Home-grown wheat in this sense competes with wheat in commerce.
As Epstein commented, "Could anyone say with a straight face that the consumption of home-grown wheat is 'commerce among the several states?'" For good measure, the Court justified the obvious sacrifice of Mr. Filburn's freedom and interests to the unnamed farmers being protected:
It is of the essence of regulation that it lays a restraining hand on the self-interest of the regulated and that advantages from the regulation commonly fall to others.

You can't have unity without a unified language. The French won't give up their language and the Germans won't give up theirs. Throw in Spain, Italy, Portugal, and Eastern European countries and you've got a real mess. It will never happen. As for the part of getting rid of the 20 bureaucracies, that won't happen either. Instead, you'll have the original 20 and a giant 21st.
No worries though, the U.S. is rapidly decaying into a dual culture society, and will have English and Spanish being spoken, dividing this country even more. Rome is burning, and the title wave continues. Maybe even a total mess of a system in Europe will be better than where the U.S. is headed.

So, what language will the primary language be? There are more than 3 languages in Europe, so even if everyone speaks 3, it's not saying they'll speak the right 3. My brother-in-law is British, living in Holland, married to a French woman. He knows enough French to get by, but my nephew speaks all 3 languages, so I know what you're saying about that.
Yes, American schools are horrible, for the most part. I'm so glad I went to private school. The state of the U.S. school system is the reason why I'll NEVER vote for a Democrat...EVER! They've destroyed the education system. Kids graduate today and are less educated than an 8th grader in the 1940's. It's all about the union and the money, and never about "the kids", even thought that's what they always say.
I still don't think it will work, and the Balkans proved that. Language, borders and culture (religion is included in culture) are required to stability. You may be able to tweak one or 2 of them slightly, but eventually it leads to violence and the break down of society...then war.

Religon is not an issue in Europe either, until you factor in extremist Islamic people who refuse to integrate, but that happens anywhere, not just in Europe. I have many Islamic friends, no problem what so ever, they are not extremist twats.

You think leaving Europe will solve London and Birmingham and other places of extremist Islamic twats and rioters and looters we saw in the UK? Think again.

I am sure if we dig up your family tree we can connect you to some bad people too.
In June 2009, the European Court of Auditors published a report, pointing out governance issues, substantial delays and budget overruns that led to project stalling in 2007, leading to further delays and failures.[16]
In October 2009, the European Commission cut the number of satellites from 28 to 22, with plans to order the remaining six at a later time. It also announced that the first OS, PRS and SoL signal will be available in 2013 and the CS and SOL sometime later. Current budget for 2006-2013 period planned for €3.4 billion was also considered as insufficient.[17]
The think tank Open Europe has estimated the total cost of Galileo from start to completion, and then running it over a 20 year period, at a staggering €22.2 billion — a cost which will be borne entirely by taxpayers. Under the original estimates (from 2000) this cost would have been €7.7 billion, of which only €2.6 billion was to be borne by taxpayers and the rest by private investors.[18]
In November 2009, a ground station for Galileo was inaugurated near Kourou (French Guiana).[19]
The launch of the first four in-orbit validation (IOV) satellites is currently planned for the 2nd half of 2011, while the launch of full operational capability (FOC) satellites is planned to start in late 2012.As of March 2010 it was verified that the budget for Galileo would only be available to provide the 4 IOV and 14 FOC satellites by 2014, with no funds currently committed to bring the constellation above this 60% capacity.[20]
Paul Verhoef, the then current satellite navigation program manager at the European Commission indicated that this limited funding would have serious consequences commenting at one point "To give you an idea, that would mean that for three weeks in the year you will not have satellite navigation" in reference to the currently proposed 18 vehicle constellation. In July 2010 the European Commission estimated further delays and additional costs of the project to grow up to €1.5-€1.7 billion and moved the estimated date of completion to 2018. After it's completed, the system will need to be subsidized by governments at €750 million per year.[2] An additional €1.9 billion was planned to be spent bringing the system up to the full complement of 30 satellites (27 operational + 3 active spares).[7][21]
In December 2010 EU ministers in Brussels have voted Prague (Czech Republic) as the headquarters of the Galileo project.[22]
In January 2011, infrastructure costs up to 2020 were estimated at €5.3 billion. In that same month, Wikileaks revealed the opinion of CEO of German satellite company OHB-System, Berry Smutny. He is quoted saying that Galileo "is a stupid idea that primarily serves French interests".[23]
The BBC understands 500m euros (£440m) will become available to make the extra purchase, taking Europe's version of GPS from 18 operational satellites in the next few years to 24.[24]
