They want Americans to bail out Europe. we did in WWI and WWII and now they want hardworking americans to pay for retired workers in europe.

We should not do the 50% reduction by writing off debt or give them any money.

That is why they are saying our economy is in trouble due to them and it is not unless we bail them out - they will never pay it back.

“we did in WWI and WWII and now they want hardworking americans to pay for retired workers in europe.”

We have ALREADY spent almost (Maybe more) than a TRILLION DOLLARS bailing out Europe.

We ARE paying for Europe’s Social Welfare, and have been since the 60’s, when Europeans began reducing their militaries because WE paid for Europe’s protection.

Yep. We’ve bailed them out with TARP money, too:

“... there were nearly two dozen European banks, including Deutsche Bank, Banco Santander, RBS and Lloyds that received $50 billion of U.S rescue funds to cover their trades with AIG.”
