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.

Britain and the EU are just the start, we'll be looking at that stuff soon enough.
Anybody know how long you have to live in France before you qualify for full pension at 62? I may need to start looking at real estate soon

I assume you mean ILLEGAL Immigrants.....considering that allowing penniless immigrants into this country, and working hard to make it, is what made this country great in the 1st place. |

Because what they can make here is significantly more than what they make at home. |
