And the guy in charge of the budget at the EU commission is ... a German, Guenther Oettinger.
WTF is the EU doing with this money? Nobody knows anything about what the EU uses the money for except hand it to Africa and the Middle East and Asia for "refugees". Well of course, what the EU is perfect for is wasting people's money on burdensome bureaucracy such as the GDPR or the old "cookie laws".
Why is the EU such a fucked up monster? How did it all get to this?
>WTF is the EU doing with this money? Vast majority goes back to member states. At least type a word or two in a search engine before you make such stupid Anglo threads.
>Hans woke up, phew !! I have realized the EU is a monster years ago when I had to work with their capital markets laws. You cannot envision a more fucked up bureaucratic, non-function system than the EU capital markets regulations. It is pretty much a "ohhh let's take the US regulations, strip out the stuff that makes sense, put lots of bureaucracy and formalistic bs in their and make it non-functional with making state authorities in their different languages responsible for enforcing it".
I hate the EU with all my heart and I just don't know how this monster developed. My guess is this evolved out of bureaucratic madmen's dreams.
>Vast majority goes back to member states. Actually, the money goes back to individuals and mostly corporations in the member states NOT to member states, mate. Also, the money does not go back proportionally to where it comes from - and I am not talking about states, but regions. If you look at regions, my region, Bavaria, is the cash cow of the EU. We pay in a shitton and our Bavarian nationals don't get back shit nothing. All the while, we are burdened with the most ridiculous legislations and regulations from EU bureaucrats who then "pledge" to reduce bureaucracy by creating even more bureaucracy.
How is that fair?
Connor Walker
How come it's always the Germans complaining about the EU and it's financial position when they are the ones profiting the most out of the EU and €? How come? How fucking stupid are you OP? Get out of your enclosed space inside your head, open a book or two, or a blog, go out more and listen to people that actually have some knowledge on a specific subject.
You, the Germans are profiting the most out of the whole political system, called the EU. The whole system is made to benefit YOU, and you are the ones who complain and whine the most. Really, whenever someone is complaining about the Euro, Eurozone or anything related, it's always a faggot with a German flag. Either educate yourself or an hero OP. Srsly.
Jeremiah Adams
>when they are the ones profiting the most out of the EU and €? There is a study saying with the German mark, Bavarians would be 40% richer just from the stronger currency. Even more so, if Bavaria were an independent state (we have 12 million people), we would likely be even richer, as we also subsidize Eastern and Northern Germany.
So how do we profit from the EU and the Euro? Through trade? We trade with countries OUTSIDE the Eurozone way more than with the Eurozone.
>listen to people that actually have some knowledge on a specific subject. As I said, I have worked with the EU regulations and laws for years. If you had done the same, you would know how fucking stupid the people in the EU are and how much they destroy with their bureaucracy.
>The whole system is made to benefit YOU This is an extremely narrow view of things. You are saying e.g. Poland doesn't profit from the EU and free trade? Of course they do, just as we do. But what I am saying is that the EU is creating unnecessary bureaucracy and programs and wasteful spending for no reason whatsoever... I am 100% for no tariffs in the EU and equalized industry standards and even equalized standards for services as long as these rules are sensible and non-bureaucratic.
But why should we pay money and then get burdened with bureaucracy costing billions to comply with?
Luis Roberts
>There is a study saying with the German mark, Bavarians would be 40% richer just from the stronger currency. That is a complete bullshit. You'd be poorer. A lot. There's a reason why there are a lot of countries with the € when they shouldn't be because their economies are to shitty. But they are. Why? To keep to value of € DOWN. Low value of currency benefits export based economies, which is the EU. You profit from €, and you profit the most, followed by countries that have close economic ties with you (including us); countries that don't produce shit get fucked.
>I have worked with the EU regulations and laws for years Here's your problem, you worked with regulations and laws so you don't have experiences how these laws have an effect. To a common person most of these laws and regulations don't make sense and are useless, but they are not only usefull, but even needed for business. Common market with common rules and no customs benefit companies more than you can imagine. Shitloads of bureaucracy dissapears because the EU and it's "Eurocrats" take care of it instead.
>You are saying e.g. Poland doesn't profit from the EU and free trade? No, I'm saying the system is made to benefit you the most. Of course others benefit too, some more than others, but it all revolves around you. And partially France.
>But why should we pay money and then get burdened with bureaucracy costing billions to comply with? You would pay this money either case, even more of it, see above.

David Hall
>Here's your problem, you worked with regulations and laws so you don't have experiences how these laws have an effect. I am lawyer, so I know exactly what the effects of these things are.
I am not responding to the rest, because you are just reiterating your points without putting any more substance to it. Again, we are not profiting from a low euro, because we are producing specialized products which compete on quality, not price. Hence we mostly do not worry about the euro exchange rate, we were able to export at 1.60 to the USD and at 1.10 to the USD. We were poorer at 1.10 than at 1.60.
Jose Harris
>who buys your cars, faggot ? Everyone
>who keeps cheaper cars out of the EU ? I don't know, we do not produce or buy any cheap cars, we exclusively produce luxury cars.
>you get yours back, with lots extra. No, we do not. We exported our cars before the Euro too.
Wyatt Flores
when the ones who actually benefit from it complain more than the ones who had their economy destroyed, you know its bad
>Why is the EU such a fucked up monster? How did it all get to this?
because germans.
it is literally all your fault.
William Hill
>I am lawyer, so I know exactly what the effects of these things are. And I'm deeply in economic waters and I know what the effect of macroeconomics are.
No, that's just typical German uneducated whining fueled by German politicians and their whining (who just like all other politicians say things to get votes). Just look at OP, a lawyer who's debating economics. Germans just want to shit on others even more and benefit even more.
Jaxon Rivera
why do you both have personalized russian flags?
Benjamin Perez
yes, and with that german mark no one would be able to afford your products. which are already expensive. and vw et al wouldn't be able to farm off labor to the cheaper east, no the cost couldn't be mitigated by moving production.

I hear nonsense coming out of German politicians (German Finance minister, Governor of your central bank, etc) all the time. Shit that makes absolutely no sense and is a direct opposite of things that would be in line with economic growth, recovery, etc. All that shit, just to appease German voters.
Henry Mitchell
How can the EU economy possibly function into the future, even the very near future, when the extreme overwhelming majority of investment is made with credit from banks? Won't countries like Greece, Italy, Spain, and slowly France, become crippled with insolvency crises that all the money in the world won't solve? People look to Deustche bank as an apocalypse waiting to happen, but isn't it really sort of the best-case scenario at this point? Entire countries should be foreclosed upon, there isn't enough welfare to pay off the debt, and European banks are so fucking insanely stupid with their lending laws that you can avoid delinquency with a partial payment every 270 days. Can anyone PLEASE fucking explain to me where the EU thinks this money is coming from? Why isn't the general public freaking out about this?
What politicians say is rarely what they do, you should know this by now. German politicians aren't pro-EU enough for my taste, not by a long shot, but their actions (including the voting pattern of even conservative MEPs in the EU parliament) show a pro-EU stance, albeit a moderate one.
Henry Roberts
yes

there are things for which i love the EU. but holy fuck, do those get overshadowed by the shit the krauts and frogs come up with to maintain the hegemony over other states. the migrant shit is inexcusable.
on one hand EU politicians are hammering about the industrial automation and the need for UBI in the next 10 years, on the other hand they're importing on a massive scale hordes of uneducated barbarians in hope that they might benefit the lower layers of economy. i mean what the fuck. they are literally put in ghettos, they do not integrate, there are no functional integration programs, just giving out massive gibs and hoping for the best, despite the cultural clash.

Aaron Gutierrez

Oliver Robinson
What you have to understand my German friend is that the EU was set up by the French and the Belgians. As such it runs on the Franco model of budgeting. Also known as credit combined with dodgy or no accounting. Most of the major expenses with the EU such as pension are not actually budgeted for the future. Therefore, the budget for the EU is destined to always increase. They will increasingly keep fudging the numbers until one day it all falls apart like all the other pyramid/ponzi schemes have in the history of the world. Enjoy.

>Also, the money does not go back proportionally to where it comes from Would be utterly pointless then, wouldn't it?
>Germany profiting the most out of the EU and €? We don't profit from having a weak and shitty currency. We have climbed the value ladder with the strong DM not the Franc or the Lira. The free trade in the EU or its predecessor is good for us but our exports mostly go outside the EU. The EU is good to have a counterbalance to Chyna and the US but we could do with a lot less centralism.
>The whole system is made to benefit YOU No, it's made to benefit France. France set the Euro up, they just didn't manage to use it as good as we did.
>There's a reason why there are a lot of countries with the € when they shouldn't be because their economies are to shitty. And the reason is that Kohl tried to prevent Greece from joining the Euro because he knew it wouldn't work. But France and Italy pressured him and Kohl had to agree because France could block reunification.
>Why? To keep to value of € DOWN. Nah. We could devalue the DM as much as we wanted. But we didn't. Because we don't want a soft currency. We want hard currency.
>countries that don't produce shit get fucked. That's universally true and doesn't have anything to do with EU, Euro or whatever.
Nolan Hall
EU is a giant scam to milk taxpayers for money while building cuck sheds to imprison them in. If you are not a giant land owner, member of a large corporation or a globalist politician you will get nothing but scraps

Joseph Martin
>macroeconomics Daily reminder that Germany has about the same productivity as France. The difference? France did increase wages as usual, while Germany did not since introduction of the Euro. Germany became cheap! Other EU countries can't devalue their currency anymore to counter this madness. While Non-EU countries have to trade in Euro with Germany.
Conclusion: Germany is a currency manipulator. And the best part, nor german politicians, nor the german public, nor the vast majority of other EU countries understand that. Our new minister of finance wants to keep goverment surplus and invest even less, which in turn means, foreign countries must make even more debt for us, because that's where our surplus is coming from. France wants to become like Germany, which means nothing less than destroying their domestic market.
Germany is bad for others. Germany is bad for germans, because while we have goverment surplus (which now goes into refugee care taking etc), the domestic market has next to no growth - remember the wages don't go up like they should.
That's pretty much my position on the EU as well. But: >they do not integrate, there are no functional integration programs When will you dipshits learn? Integration is the worst that can happen. It's much less likely that someone who got integrated gets deported. The problem about immigration is race/ethnicity, not culture or integration. It's their bad genes that we must worry about first and foremost.
Oliver Foster
True. Integration is truly ethnic murder. This level of segregation is unsustainable though so we have to deal with the hordes in one way or another. So far, they want to do their own thing in the ghettos.

It's not about the gibs, the EU destroyed Eastern economy and uses Eastern States as consumer market In Romania for instance, all of our supermarkets are either German or French, besides Dacia, you mostly see vw, bmw, Audi, Mercedes, even our agriculture got destroyed by lab-made vegetables coming from the west. The EU made us relient on it, the gibs coming from it ultimately go back to Germany
Jeremiah Morales
Yes but time is on our side with the integration part. The incompatible gets sent to jail and cant procreate and the obedient pass on their genes. Deportation is probably cheaper in the long run though(and nicer).

>You, the Germans are profiting the most out of the whole political system, called the EU. The whole system is made to benefit YOU, and you are the ones who complain and whine the most. Perhaps some German corporations profit, I doubt OP profits much personally.

>>i'm too stupid to bother looking up what the EU does with its budget so obviously they don't do anything other than gibs, that's why they're one of the world superpower alliances
I know exactly what they do with the money. I just think what they do is fucked up shit that nobody wants.
A. 40% of the EU budget goes into agriculture and "rural development" (aka agriculture disguised as things like forestry subsidies etc.).
B. 35% for infrastructure
C. Rest
The true fucked up shit is that they use funny line item description to disguise what is what in their budgets. They do that so nobody can point to a line-item saying "this is agriculture" or "this is gibmees for roads" etc.
