Something the eastern countries, as the ones who actually get money and access to the European market and other things they quite need to catch up to western standards, probably are not willing to do. If they do, the EU will live on.
This is true, but the more developed nations that weren't part of the Soviet Bloc equally benefit by utilizing a currency tied to so many undeveloped economies. Germany makes far more money on this current arrangement than all the Eastern European countries receive in subsidies, likely combined.

Don't the United States work exactly that way? Where can Texas complain when it's unhappy with something in the United States? It's not like we have impartial third parties around that could solve these things. Should we ask the US to be our judge?
Not an apt comparison at all. The United States is a single country. Europe is not, and likely never will be. Not only that, we're talking national cultures that go back over a thousand years in some instances. Also, you're ignoring (not deliberately) the fact that individual states complain about federal law, and sue the federal government, all the time.
