So what? We're still suffering from the fallout of 2007/2008 and the world wasn't fixed by lowering rates and printing money. Big surprise.

The EU consists of 28 countries. The fact that every now and then one of them experiences difficulty isn't surprising.

South America has several economic basket cases, perhaps you could figure out some way to blame that on the EU too. I would not put it past many of the quitters here.

So what. Being constrained by an EU straight jacket isn't helping Italy solve it's problems. In years gone by when the same problems have arisen was far easier to adopt a solution. Not suggesting that was not considerable pain. Merely illustrates the political folly of bending fiscal rules just to create the currency Union at speed.
