This is where elections in Europe have been for decades.
The #1 overriding issue to voters is “How do I maintain or increase my social benefits?”. Little else matters.
Yep, you nailed it.
And just try to roll back the "benefits" after the socialists have run out of other people's money, and the riots break out and the unionized nation "goes on strike". This is precisely what Ubama and the rat party want for America. And, apparently, so do the majority of voters.
