The youth of Europe are following the glowing thoughts of moonbat Pelosi. They are not employed and can devote their time to art and individual growth, perhaps writing or music.

BTW, Domino’s Pizza has joined the list of companies to boycott. Domino’s is worse than Mozilla.

They are espousing the moonbat obamacare defense. Their current TV ads feature the art work of their 30 hour per week employees that have been allowed the time off for their artistic talents to develop. At least one however got it wrong. He thinks he is an artist for slinging together a pizza.

I’ve often heard it said that welfare doesn’t exist for the benefit of the poor, but for the rich.

If the jobless were starving, they probably wouldn’t be quite as listless and depressive about their situation...

The “youth”... probably too busy texting, tweeting, Ipading, etc.

The European Welfare state was unsustainable and their grandparents knew that. However, the Marshall Plan put money into European countries after WWII for twenty years until the end of the sixties. At the very moment the Marshall Plan monies began drying up, the Value Added Tax was implemented as "quote" a temporary measure. The VATs eventually replaced the Marshall Plan money which, unlike today the governments would have printed more fiat currency; yet, the memories of Germany and Italy's experience with fiat currency kept them on a single generational sustainable Tax and currency system. However, successive generations of politicians learned to tax and spend thru crony capitalism thus squeezing another thirty years up to today. Today, as the EU countries disengage from a VAT and began the fiat currency known as Quantitate Easing, the world does not have a strong American Banking system to bellwort the financial system. The US is competing for a competitive economy and is thus forced to utilize the socialist European financial ploys to bolster the government spending that the people do not produce.

If the US does not disengage from the fiat currency soon, it will most likely dump the US Dollar and issue a new currency for the Americas, called the American Dollar spanning from Canada to Mexico initially and eventually gobbling up the whole of North and South American creating another Trade Zone. I believe that the US is going to do thru immigration what NAFTA could not accomplish due to strong Democratic Unions politically; once the immigration issue opens boarders in the US from Mexico, the floodgates for the new Trade Zone will have been established and the American Dollar will reign supreme.

Eventually, there will be 5-7 Trade Zones based on zones of interest for Russia, China, possibly India or the old British Anglo Empire.

If they had to hoe and weed food crops all day from sun up ‘til sun down to feed themselves they would’t have time to become disaffected.

Sounds like they are doing the modern American dream ...acceptance of mediocrity or...”Embracing the Suck”.

If the young are doing what is described, it’s then GAME OVER for Greece, as it existed for thousands of years.

With young adults now staying home with mom and dad well into middle age, there won’t be room for marriage in their lives and therefore no kids.

So the already-pathetic birthrate there will decline even more, and a vacuum will develop that will be filled by some type of culture - maybe Muslims from Africa, or maybe Turks move in and finish them off.

But it’s over for them, and that was always the DREAM of the Socialists, because if one culture in the history of the world is responsible for all of the HORROR that has taken place due to Western Society, it is clearly the Greeks - for without them virtually nothing that we know today would exist (including the computer that I’m typing on).

...and the Greeks have NO ONE to blame except themselves - they could have told their Socialists that their ideas were crazy, but no, they drank the Kool Aid and the rest is history.

Hmmm. Sounds like a lot of cannon fodder for the next Ewe-rup-peon conflict.
