Jon Worth produced this word cloud from European Commission (EC) President Jose Manuel Barroso's "State of the European Union." Listening to Barroso his proposal for EU project bonds for infrastructure projects stuck out in financial terms. The rest? See the word cloud.

Barroso, a non-publicly elected EC official with wide-ranging powers who directs extensive behind-the-curtain policy-making, ran into immediate opposition although the more emotional statements came in local language without subtitles or translation options; so I was not able to follow.
His main points are summarized in this letter to all MEPs.
