Nah, Austria's in the EU. That would make the US would a
member state just as subject to oversight from Brussels as
any other EU country.

Wait a minute.. it's brilliant! Who cares what fools we elect
then -- we'd all be Europeans. Socialized medicine! A real

Generous unemployment benefits! Snooty French rules about cheese!

I think I'm in love with this idea.

Invade Austria -- join the EU now!
