The problem that all of these nations share is that they spend more than they take in in revenues. The solution is first to balance the books by 'belt-tightening;' and, secondly, to increase wealth generation. Neither of these steps are easy and neither are popular with people who have been accustomed to having their wishes met by populist (usually socialist) politicians.
The 1972 communities Act effectively made the EU a federal State and the individual countries surrendered their sovereignty at that time. Another aspect of the EU is that it now passes most of the laws in Europe and the Civil Services are now placed in the position of answering to the EU rather than their own Parliaments. Is it a good idea to formally acknowledge the existence of a US of E? I do not think so for the simple reason that the EU Parliament is simply a rubber stamp for laws drafted by anonymous unelected elites and is deeply flawed from democratic perspective. The EU has more in common with Bismark's Prussia than any modern Democratic State and I believe that rather than following Hollande's idea that it would be better to scrap the whole European Union.
