But the politicians thought they could make it 1 big central coordinated Union.
For business it can be easy to have 1 currency. But for holidays? Come on, you just but your card in the ATM and you have local currency. It is not like 30 years ago that you would need a travel cheque for you 2 week holiday per year.
And the Greek go earlier on retirement. But in Holland we had hundrerd of thousands people working for the government that only worked till they where 60 while the official age of retirement was 65. The reason the age is 67 is not because there is work. But because the government want to use your retirement funds. 20 years ago there where a lot uf retirement funds, till the president decide to steal billions of euro's here in the Netherlands. So now there is a shortage and everybody needs to work longer. Don't believe the storytellers about working till you are 67.
I don't see why i would be against working till 57. The government also tries to keep my money in their pocket till i am 67. If people have more spare time they can watch and buy more porn.

All true. People who *think* that working til you are 1 step away from the coffin is for the 'greater good', are perfectly brainwashed modern slaves.
You cannot trust governments. You can't say 'Oh we have to work until we are old and grey, or the government doesn't have any money anymore for society'. That is very, very naive. Just a while ago, after major cutbacks, higher taxes, more expensive healthcare, and how can i forget the VAT a few years ago that went from decades of 19% all of a sudden to 21%. Do you realize how much fucking extra money that is for the government? It's fucking huge.
After all that, the puppets in politics all say 'it are hard times, we have to do this, everybody needs to chip in', making everybody accept all this blatant stealing from them.
Then, at the end of last year, the EU demands this country to pay an 'after-tax' to the fat cats of the EU of the sum of ?642 million. Ofcourse our government all of a sudden has this money and pays up. What? I thought there wasn't any money anymore?
Now im reading that the EU just set another after tax for Holland of an extra ?200 million.... WTF? Ofcourse the government is paying this as well... It's so easy apparently to milk the people for every penny they got, claim to need to money because there isn't anything left, and ultimately throw away close to a billion euros to the EU mafia bosses, because the dutch government is used to bending over to bigger entities. They get fucked, and we get fucked by them. Great system
