And all the Obendover bots here sing him praises that he’s won re-election and will usher in their Socialist utopia, totally ignorant and so far removed from reality, they don’t recognize THIS is what the US is facing.
This is why we are unlikely to see meaningful cuts to similar programs here... Riots in the streets would be just the start.
Despite the fact that social spending takes nearly every penny of Federal revenue... leaving National Defense and other Constitutional responsibilities relegated to begging for appropriations...
These people blame “austerity” for all their socialist problems, as if massive debt spending would improve the economy. These people are seriously warped.
I wish I could honestly say that I am surprised - but I can not.
Through out 2012 all of the European crises were resolved by ABSOLUTELY NOTHING !!!
It seems that today’s political class/rulers are unable to make any decision much less the hard ones.
Now, the world is facing a massive reset on multiple issues in multiple countries, including the US.
We have gotten to this level of overlapping crises by preventing minor crises. ??? All political systems have long and short term cycles - highs and lows. We have demanded our leaders/rulers to cut out the lows and to a large degree they have been successful and have failed. Instead of having a minor reset to reduce the pressures we have avoided the crises and the pressure has built up.
Now the pressures has gotten so bad that it will be explosively released in the near future.
“The violent protests and strikes that flared up across the European Union on Wednesday are a sign of things to come as frustration grows over austerity measures and Europe’s recession peaks.”
OMG....seriously. I needed a good laugh and this jackhole has provided.
Firstly: how does this idiot know what the “peak” is?
Secondly: This is Europe he’s talking about. You know, THE Europe. The one where hundreds and hundreds of years of history defines “peaks of frustration” in terms of Germans casually tossing Jews in ovens. Millions of men dying in trenches. Revolutions in one nation becoming pointless destructive conquest in many others.
If I’m this guy’s editor and read “strikes” and “peaks”, the next words out of my mouth are “I’m here to help writers be better but, you’re obviously a hopeless frickin’ moron. Get your crap and get the hell out of here.”
Can you see this picture on Wall St and many major cities in the not to distant future?
Europe helps explain why none of the Dims will support any cuts in spending. They know that it is their own base that will go on the rampage and have to be quelled if any “austerity” measures are implemented. They will be better served in their goal of despotism by taking us all into the dumpster first and then they can “quell” everyone equally.
