As for your solution, the EU has been typically growing slower, so it's a bit like saying we are driving too slow and suggesting applying the breaks to go a bit faster.

The govts in charge are responsible for trying to improve the economy but it doesn't mean they are always the cause of the issues. Just saying they are misdiagnoses the problem and misdiagnosed problems do not ever get solved!
