Paper Over Cracks

Hungary is pushing a temporary measure to solve the budget crisis.

Hungarian Foreign Minister Ferenc Somogyi on Sunday renews the country's call for a temporary EU budget, saying it is better than nothing for the 25-member bloc in the three years beyond 2007.

Which raises the question, why does the EU have 5 year budgets in the first place? All governments have yearly budgets, why not the EU? I guess the Euro Elites don’t wish us to see the displays of European solidarity every year.
