I have a relative who is a social researcher. He has been working recently as a visiting professor in Sweden. He says that the people in Scandanavia are much happier than are our citizens in the U.S.

“…We could learn a few things from places like Norway, Sweden….”

Indeed, Skippy. Like addressing their entitlement system, which they have at least attempted. May be too little and too late, but at least they recognize there is a problem.

Unlike the ostrich at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.

One of Frances economic ministers said in the last few days that his country is completely bankrupt.
Socialism fails when you run out of other peoples money. France is broke.

You’ve apparently never been to France, nor anywhere outside of Rialto given the tone of your post.

Hey Skippy, do us a favor and buy a one way ticket to France. Bon voyage. Oh, and learn how not to bath regularly, surrender to the first German you see and by all means practice being insufferably rude and arrogant.

@But Europe is Better,

“Who said economic growth and job creation are accurate measures of a country’s well-being?”

What a howler. You’re kidding right? Are you a Democrat political consultant by any chance?

Good. Europe is a nice place. We could learn a few things from places like Norway, Sweden, and even (gasp!) the French.

Paul: Please, are you serious? When have you ever heard of an entrepreneur moving to Europe for the economic advavtage or for a chance to get ahead. I know many who have left Europe to access the American dream but have only known people to immigate to Europe to take advantage of even more free stuff. I would love to know what Paul does to contribute to society. I am almost 100% sure he is a moocher, a taker and a second hander living off the American taxpayer already.

Its George Bushes fault. Obama already said it.
Even tho Obama had complete control of the house and senate in his first two years, including an senate the republicans couldn’t filibuster. And even tho the house went to the rino’s, Harry Reid and Obama shut down the senate to stop all budgets for 3 years.
A trillion dollars in stimulus spending and 6 trillion added to the debt, and trillion dollar deficits as far as the eye can see, hasn’t stimulated the economy. It has only dropped kicked our kids future in the nuts.
