We’ll need an oxygen mask before this thing is over. Remind me, where exactly is socialism succeeding? Why are Americans still calling for more socialism? Is more poison really going to cure the patient?

Have you seen this story yet?: http://www.reuters.com/article/2012/05/30/denmark-banks-moodys-idUSL1E8GUA3X20120530

It is especially ironic to me as just last week my family met two Danish lasses on their “gap year”. They disparaged America while regaling us with stories of how in Denmark their education is completely free. They emphasized “completely free” several times.

Being familiar with socialism and its unseen costs, I asked them how they afforded their nine month vacation around the world. They said that in Denmark the taxes are so high you cannot earn enough money, so they went to Finland where taxes are nearly halved over Denmark. They complained bitterly about the high taxes in their home country.

I said nothing as my children were there and I wanted to inoculate them against socialism. After the young ladies departed my kids reported the idiocy of their beliefs. I am relieved and delighted as you can well imagine.

"Europe's money contracts again"

Some of it is being moved here, to further inflate our US debt regime.
