OME, Jan. 2 (UPI) -- Violent protests in Southern Europe reflect growing anger and despair among youth shut out of a future, economists and political observers say.
The most highly educated generation in the history of the Mediterranean is facing one of its worst job markets, experts warn.
In Italy, where university cuts have provoked protests, President Giorgio Napolitano warned of "the pervasive malaise among young people" in his year-end address, The New York Times reported.

I can’t get a job, so I figured getting really pissed off might help. Works over in America, right?
Losers. They should take their government back from the bankers.
A lot of the poor babies are starting to figure out that their “global warming” get rich quick off of government grants routine isn’t going to payoff after all.
That’s right! They should just march downstairs and say “Dad, I want my government back! Right now!”
You mean that Socialist State thing isn’t all it is cracked up to be?
"I deem [this one of] the essential principles of our government and consequently [one] which ought to shape its administration:... The honest payment of our debts and sacred preservation of the public faith." --Thomas Jefferson: 1st Inaugural, 1801. ME 3:322
"I sincerely believe... that the principle of spending money to be paid by posterity under the name of funding is but swindling futurity on a large scale." --Thomas Jefferson to John Taylor, 1816. ME 15:23
"[With the decline of society] begins, indeed, the bellum omnium in omnia [war of all against all], which some philosophers observing to be so general in this world, have mistaken it for the natural, instead of the abusive state of man. And the fore horse of this frightful team is public debt. Taxation follows that, and in its train wretchedness and oppression." --Thomas Jefferson to Samuel Kercheval, 1816. ME 15:40
Hummmmmm? 2012
Hmmmm.... if their education system is anything like ours, this statement seems a little suspect.
Those are people who riot because their college tuition goes up by a buck or because the welfare benefit gets cut by a buck.
Violent revolutions are made from this type of discontent.
Oh the commie socialist creeps in high places here in America are looking on in envy, oh do they wish this happens here
They're so smart that they don't understand that when employment costs are jacked up by the government, demand for workers decreases.
“Violent protests in Southern Europe reflect growing anger and despair among youth shut out of a future”
They are only “shut out of the future” if they think “the government” owes them a job. Which is probably what they have been educated/indoctrinated to think.
It is the parasitic socialist governments that raise the taxes so much, raising the costs for the producers and those who are working, costs which also make salary demands on the employers of those working and reducing job creation - due to wage and tax costs; instead of leaving more private revenue earned available to (1) be more productive, (2) hire more workers and (3) produce more with lower costs - thus providing jobs for future workers.
Instead, expect the European youth to demand the complete government takeover of the means of production with “guarantees” of jobs for everyone.
The “cold war” may have ended. The Marxist war against Liberty and free enterprise did not.
Let em. The fall will be that much swifter.

Yes, but think about Muslims in control of France’s nuclear arsenal.
It’s called a revolution.
They are only a couple of years ahead of us. If anyone thinks the generation of people under 30 around the world will voluntarily pay for all the debts of the boomers, the rude awakening alarm clock will soon be going off.
...And as pensioners live longer, fewer young workers are paying less in taxes to support them.
Hmmmmm.
Am I sensing the glimmer of the inevitable final solution here?
Of course, the Muslims have all that planned anyhow - and they will likely inherit all of these intractable social "problems"...
