The EU is a socialist mess and its bills are coming due. Japan is the same. You think our Social Security and Medicare problems are bad? They are nothing compared to the massive deficits the EU and Japan face with their aging populations and their socialist systems of medical care and pensions.
They will be in a world of hurt twenty years from now, having to make very tough choices about their systems. Their only alternative is to allow massive immigration to supply the workers needed to fuel their retirees benefits. The U.S. -if we address Social Security and Medicare reform now- will be much better off than either of them, and Americans know it. Polls show that yong people overwhelmingly support reform, including personal accounts for SS. >I've become very tired of this paying too much taxes argument. Its >simply not the case.
