No Matter What Happens, Austerity Only Belongs to the People
Austerity.....
Funny how the EU refuses to cut it's own operating costs to help the member states through the covid crisis, and to help those such as Spain and Italy get back on their feet.
Of course, that would be a step too far for the Brussels gravy train because if they did cut back on the chauffeur driven Mercedes, the €660 per child monthly bonus, the tax free salaries, the tax free shopping, tuition free "European Schools" etc etc etc it would mean MEP's who are only in this for the money (which let's face it is most of them) could then turn towards Euroscepticism (as revenge for their loss in entitlements) and blow up the the house of cards from the inside. Then, of course are the 100,000+ European Union employees who work as quangos in dysfunctional quasi-governmental EU organisations, BS Institutions and bogus companies, all raking it in from forced payments from the member states. No questions asked, nobody accountable for anything, just turn up, clock in, clock out and take the cash.
No cut backs here ....
Nope, much better to inflict austerity on the member states instead (as it has been doing since 2010 I might add) to keep the people firmly in their place while the operating costs go up and up, the salaries go up, benefits become more extravagant and so do all those expenses that receipts are not required for. The Brussels elite continue to enjoy the trappings of the Bourgoise and kick the can down the road where future generations in the 27 will have to pay for the mess. Of course ... the Elite will blame Covid019.... but will they be believed while the rest of the world has moved on, sorted themselves out, paid back their borrowing and rebuilt their economies ?
I doubt it.
And while the EU mutualises debt of around 750 billion, increases the payments from the net contributors to 1.2 Trillion Euros, behind their backs the commission issues a 30% hike in payments to "developing countries" - free money to other countries who like them are run by a mafia mob, dictators and unelected communists.
So happy we left ...
