Americans...coming to a neighbourhood near you...
...be certain you thank a Leftist.
This is not about "Socialism" or Left or Right, Republican or Democrat: In the US, the banks, Wall St. and the "Virtual States" (Corporations) have bought the government and the politicians , with a big hand from Reagan and suceeding Presidents.
Greece and Italy are now in the hands of banks.
Consider Sweden's economy : their workers are as productive as US workers, yet Sweden has a higher standard of living, superior health care and child care, long paid vacations, lower poverty and more .
You can add Portugal, Spain, and the REST of Europe...Precisely what I've said...and Socialism is the cause. Everything is Government-run, everyone is an overpaid Government Employee. Until now...
Nonsense. You continue the lie about Sweden. They are well on their way to default, as are all of the Socialist Countries of Europe. If they didn't have our protection, they'd have been sunk long ago.
You can check on Sweden's economy . You will find I'm accurate.
