They control the EU macroeconomic policy apparatus.

By laying out pros and cons we risk inducing people to join the debate, and losing control of a process that only we fully understand. - Alan Greenspan

We're not pillorying them for the insistence on cycle-average budget balance.

We're pillorying them for their inflation target, and for their insistence on year-on-year budget balance.

Oh, and for the flippin' hypocrisy in demanding year-on-year budget balance from brown people who speak funny while running cycle-averaged deficits themselves...
