"Gustave Brun d’Arre, 18, is still in high school. “The only thing we’re told is that we will have to pay for the others,” he said, sipping a beer at a cafe. The waiter interrupted, discussing plans to alter the French pension system. “It will be a mess,” the waiter said. “We’ll have to work harder and longer in our jobs.”

If your social policy is to spend today every dime you can beg, borrow, or steal, and kite the check to the next generation, you need to be sure to have a next generation.

The only reason they could sustain it for so long is the United States paid for their defense.
They were able to pump that savings to prop up and delay the inevitable crash, which will now be worse for the delay.

Hey, as many have said on this site; "deal with reality or reality will deal with you". The Europeans are dealing with reality that they cannot afford the social welfare programs they have created over the years.
We in the United States are going to deal with it also. California, New Jersey and soon most states are going to have the same problems Greece is having. As one Senator put it the other day; "you can't have a society with more takers than makers."

Those smug bastards have enjoyed peace and prosperity for over 60 years under the shelter of American military might - it's about time they paid the freight.

Boohoo, get off your LAZY azzes and do something productive like running your own business. Some might actually find it more financially rewarding then lying around all day.

Mark Steyn said words to the effect that western civilization is taxing, aborting and buggering itself into extinction. Quite right.

Europeans Fear Crisis Threatens Liberal Benefits Well effin' duh! Liberal "beliefs" don't work in the real world. Sorry for the harsh wake up call but this is reality.
