So its "Rational" to let others (Who do not have your interests as a priority and are not accountable to you) make decisions that directly impact your everyday life is it ?.
If you choose the people who make decisions and have recourse to hire and fire them if they dont do the job then they have far more incentive, thats a fact.
Any deal is better than one dictated by others, including the walk away if terms are not right for US, if you went into a shop and they said "we will only sell/buy from you if you leave your door open every night" the words fu*k off would be thrown over your shoulder on the way out, thats another fact (Unless you are hard of thinking).
We are a nation that has done far more than ok in the many generations before the f*cking EU, its a parasite that produces nothing but dictates and takes a chunk of cash for the privilege, we dont need it, we dont want it.
