Curious creature this new Hungarian government.

They seem to embrace traditional social values, and yet had no qualms about helping themselves to the contents of everyone’s 401K.

Anyway, “EU Values” is an oxymoron.

They don't call them Christian Socialists for nothing. Coming soon to America if a Mike Huckabee-type gets elected.

Yet remember that the conservative elected politicians took a cut in salaries and cut the salaries of government employees and cut many public-sector jobs.

Hungary is a small country of 9 million and they were in deep doo-doo but they wanted to get themselves out of their deep socialist hole without resorting to bankruptcy. Also note that they still retain their own currency the Forint instead of the euro.

Taking the retirement funds was no-alternative way to doing this.
