Eu V Usa

[dairygirl4u2c]

even if it's a weakness, propping up poorer countries (id guess it's generally a weakness, not always), that doesn't mean that the EU is just as bad as the USA, or is socialistic, etc.

the EU still by and large, is a lot more like a confederacy, as originally done by the USA. that means we're still mostly basing their system on confederacy, or not, for the most part.

the talk of propping up poorer countries then is just a side point, really ultimately irrelevant to the bigger picture.

I think it makes the EU far weaker than the USA. It's not really a side point. It makes them weaker in theory and in practice, just as the poll asked.

The US just happens to do it less. Canada does it more than the US, but still less than the EU... which, by the way, is the reason that we should just let Quebec go. See how they do without their transfer payments from Alberta.
