Anne, have you noticed that the EU countries are facing a sovereign debt crisis with a lot of it being due to massive social spending? Look at California, on the verge of bankruptcy. Please stop being delusional

It is strange how some people think that the government can just print money as needed. These are the voters. Scary how uninformed most are on economics.

Your unmotivated, droning posts-from-the-interior are extremely creepy, I think I should tell you.

Are you speaking to me?

Not sure what your post has to do with the thread topic.

So again, you cannot state that spending needs to be cut. It is amazing and confirms that liberalism is a mental disorder. Any rational being understands that spending needs to be cut (massive social spending cuts) in order to avoid insolvency.

Liberals, being irrational, cannot even utter the words "cuts in social spending", as it is forbidden in the liberal lexicon. It is almost funny if it was not so sad.

You're right.... MOST don't have a clue about economics. They don't realize you cannot spend your way into prosperity! So I guess if you're $10K in debt with credit cards you should go out and spend MORE instead of paying it down? When the money runs out their next avenue is always tax then to death!!

Thank you for pointing this out! Unfortunately our leaders ARE simpletons (at best), since the political process seems to weed out any sane, intelligent, uncorrupted person.
