Jesus wouldn't be bankrupting his nation and getting half the population dependent on handouts.

Europe will fall first, than hopefully America will turn around.

@TimeWarp66 So what's your solution, take away the pensions of old people? Yeah that sounds like a capitalist solution, all for us nothing for you. CNB is full of lies about the European systems, Sweden has the strongest welfare state in the world, at the same time it is the 2nd most competitive country in the world, surpassed only by Switzerland. USA on the other hand comes in at 5th place, cleary welfare is compatible with successfull economies, CBN's agenda is to bamboozle people

[TimeWarp66]

No. Old people deserve their stolen money back. But these ponzi scheme pension programs need to be phased out for younger workers. Sweden, along with many other european countries are lowering their tax rates and phasing out their welfare states. France and England have been raising their retirement ages for their pension programs. And Greece, Italy, Spain, Portugal, are declaring bankruptcy.

socialism is great, if it all works out. To bad it does not all work out, and in fact gets worse.
