		If we spent some of our vast defense budget on better infrastructure, including roads, waterways, and telecommunications, one would expect economic growth similar to that experienced in the 60's when similar infrastructure expansion projects were undertaken in the continental U.S. However, I doubt it will ever happen, at least not with our defense budget.
		From my perspective, the rampant expansion will only serve to create more bureaucracy and conflict within the Union that is not yet solidified enough.

		In 1995, however, the European Council agreed to abandon the name in favour of the euro, in deference to German concern that the ECU would not be credible, given its track record of repeated devaluation occasioned by the weakness of several of its components, notably the lira, the peseta, the escudo and the drachma.
