The upshot is that support for such programs IS rising.
Because Millenials look at those programs in Europe and say “uhhh.....yeah, that sounds cool!” without investing any rational thought or analysis into it.
Of course the support for free goodies is rising, it is called parasites and sloth. The real reason America cannot have a Nordic style welfare state is America does not have the North Sea oil fields to support such largesse.
Norway is in for a very rude awakening as the fields are starting to run out.
Americans are in for a very rude awakening as our debt bubble we all inflated to feed the parasites is about to crash down on our future generations.
NEVER borrow money to feed the “poor”.
...which are breaking the back of our society. I would like to see this air head live on the said programs and have her understand who actually pays for them. The Millennial is the most worthless American generation ever and educated by the pathetic and useless "universal public schools".
