Just call me a A.W.M - Angry White Male!
I want to know why I should care about Europe's debt problems? Yes, We're part of the "global economy". I know. I get it! Yada, yada, yada.
Why is everybody is shaking in their boot about it. It didn't seem to matter 10 or 20yrs ago. I'm sure this is not a new problem. Why now?
Sadly, the older I get, the more conservative Republican I get. I like the thought of isolationism now. Screw the rest of the world. One of Europe's big problems I think is the cradle to grave entitlement mentality of some or all of countries.
5 weeks paid vacation in some countries.
Guaranteed pensions and healthcare.
And the list goes on and on. Those countries seem to change governments more often than I change girlfriends in a year!
When I was younger, and not as disillioned, I thought we should have a three party system of government or more like some of the other countries have.
But now as I'm older, seeing how we can't get anything done in Congress with the two parties we have, I see that as a recipe for disaster. Imagine three parties arguing and no one agreeing! Nothing would get done.
I could go on and on but really, who cares about Europe?
