If it has anything to do with Europe's social safety net, then why isn't Germany's economy in shambles?

Your argument falls flat.

Lol.

Ive been wondering if it isn't time for Greece to start auctioning off their antiques.

Isn't it a luxury owning antiques?

is sweden and norways economy in shambles because of their safety nets? american doesn't even barely have one and republicans say we're 'socialist'.

sweden and norway and denmark are ranked the TOP countries to live in with a higher happiness index and they make MORE MONEY per capita than US and have a LOWER crime rate.
