The EU's requirement for QE is no different to that of the USA, UK or Japan. And when the EU's QE comes to an end (as it will imminently), what will you find to gripe about then
And whatever 'living the dream's family and friends tell him/her, it seems the Italian government has no intention of leaving the EU:
New Italian economy minister: no euro exit proposal on tap
Business Insider UK Business Insider UK10 June 2018 ROME (AP) —
Italy's economy minister says the new populist government isn't discussing any proposal to leave the eurozone.
Minister Giovanni Tria, in an interview in Sunday's Corriere della Sera newspaper, said "not only do we not want to exit" the 19-member shared currency union, but the coalition is determined to act so conditions don't occur to "put our presence in the euro(zone) up for discussion."
He called the week-old Italian government's position on the euro "clear and unanimous."
Tria, an economics policy professor, was a last-minute choice to replace the coalition's preferred pick for the post, an economist who has advocated having a backup plan to abandon the euro. Italy's president refused to approve hiring that economist, citing fears that championing such a plan would further roil the financial markets.

For someone who purports to be fed up to the back teeth with Brexit, I am surprised by the number of posts Jimgym makes on Brexit-related threads.
Oh are you really Lloyd? I can't keep up with your almost schizophrenic like arguments. One minute you accuse me of being very quiet after being so vocal about Brexit, then when I respond, you become surprised. You almost make me laugh with your hypocrisy. You cannot have it both ways. So if I don't respond you comment, if I do respond you comment. Wow! Still, making snide remarks as you do means you avoid the real issues regarding the EU. Where did I say I was "fed up to the back teeth with Brexit"? If you could post it then I'd be grateful to clarify.
