As The US Continues To Mirror Europes Social Benefits, Will We Also Suffer The Same Fate

Can we in the Unites States be headed for the same fate as Greece and the rest of Europe?

Some will say no, "The government has a duty to provide social services" and "Our Legislators would never let that happen here"....Yet history shows that most Politicians govern for votes and rarely consider how the social benefits handed to their constituents for those votes will be paid for over the long term, nor do they take into consideration the natural ups and downs of the economy when their vote binds future taxpayers to pay for programs that they pass into Law.

We may be watching the answer unfold as we watch Europes Social Model colapse under its own weight. An article from The New York Times, "Europeans Fear Crisis Threatens Liberal Benefits", sheds light on the troubles created by Politicians and out of control labor unions that provide benefit after benefit with no regard to the fiscal sustainability of those programs and benefits over the long term.

The short answer is "Elections Matter", and if America does not want to suffer the same fate that Europe now faces, we must vote for politicians that are committeed to fiscal responsibility and the reduction of government spending in every level of Government.
