The point is, they chose to spend money like there was no tomorrow, recklessly taking unfair advantage of getting into the EU. It was their choice, granted, but they should not have been able to exercise a choice which impacted so gravely on other EU members.
Without a federal Europe, this could happen all over again with any so-called 'anti austerity' government.

Quite. This failure to see obvious consequences to decisions made is typical of the bureaucracy that is the EU.

Odd that so many folks still seem to have more faith in these people than their own elected leaders who're at least replaceable if they get it wrong. It's quite bizarre...
