Perhaps President Obama and liberals in Congress should pay better attention to what is happening in Europe. Interesting things are happening in Sweden, things that have a direct bearing on the direction Obama and his minions have set for the United States. Following World War II, Western European countries set themselves on the path of socialism. By the 1960s, they had arrived. Western Europe quickly recovered from World War II, but not because of socialism. France, Germany, Belgium, the Netherlands, Sweden, and the other war-ravaged countries of Western Europe were able to quickly recover from World War II because of the foresight and generosity of the United States in implementing the Marshall Plan.

The problem is not that politicians don’t know socialism doesn’t work for us, it is that they know it does work for them. It’s much easier to buy votes with promises of “more free stuff” than the other guy, than it is to win votes by advocating on behalf of smaller government, individual freedom and personal responsibility.
I would give them a standing ovation! I wish the rest of the world would take a close look at what they are doing, especially here in the States! Just as Margaret Thatcher once said, “Socialism is great until you run out of other peoples money”. Socialism has never worked, and it will never work. The math doesn’t work. You can only thin soup so long before it is no longer soup, but water! I pray the 2016 election makes a difference, but I’m not willing to hold my breath.
“Socialism is a philosophy of
failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy; its inherent virtue is
the equal sharing of misery…”
Socialism is like the snake monster in some horror movies. You keep cutting off its head but always seems to come back again. There are always some ideologues that constantly strive to force equality of result upon everyone instead of equality of opportunity.
