<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mrbrklyn, post: 1441717, member: 4381&quot;]That is interesting.&nbsp; I always felt the Parliamentary system had a weakness in that the Prime minister is in fact elected by the Government and indirectly by the Party.&nbsp; That as aside, the nuts and bolts problem, as i see it, is that the elected governments that determine spending and taxes are not the same as the ones determining monetary policy.&nbsp; That is a HUGE, and immediate&nbsp; problem.&nbsp; States in the US have to have a balanced budget every year or POOF.. they stop making payments on salaries.&nbsp; They can not mandate an expense that they can&#039;t finance.&nbsp; The Federal Government, however, can and does (thank god).</p><p><br /></p><p>Actually, I was just thinking.&nbsp; Do you pay taxes to the EU?</p><p><br /></p><p>Ruben[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
