And in France, union "workers" are rioting because in that country, in an attempt to reduce crippling deficits, the government is talking about raising the retirement age...TO 62!! (from 60).

To repeat...France wants to tell people they can retire with full benefits at 62, and the populace responds by rioting. This is what happens when a citizenry gets addicted to a sense of welfare, which is precisely what the Messiah Obama is trying to do here.

Western European socialism does not work, it can not work. Those countries are going bankrupt, and they don't even allow significant immigration. Imagine how broke those countries would be if, like us, they allowed millions of penniless immigrants to enter.
