Wake up Europe!! The EU is going to micro-manage every decision that ought to be subject to local and/or national control. Think you can build an 11 mile road where YOU think it should be? Think again.....

***Wake up Europe!! The EU is going to micro-manage every decision that ought to be subject to local and/or national control.***

The reason the Russian Communist government failed is because everything had to be done from the top down. Example: Wheat growers had to plant when Moscow said it was time. If the fields in any part of Russia were soaked with rain, the farmers had to go to the local commissioner to get permission to delay planting. He had to go to the next level of government which had to go to the next level, and so on until it reached the command in Moscow. By then, the farmers’ tractors were sunken in mud in their fields when they tried to till and plant.

The same was true when it was time to harvest. Some wheat rotted in the fields because it matured earlier than Moscow commanded it to. Other wheat was harvested before it was ripe. The same problem was evident when it came to trucking the usuable wheat to storage. The result? The Russians were starving. The EU basically operates on the same premise as communism.
