This foolish philosophy has been around since I studied economics at university. If ever an economist was completely full of shit it was Milton Friedman yet he is the poster boy of the teabaggers (although most of them are too stupid to even know his work).leftbankerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13990365189051313153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3332356.post-11619939997483984622011-04-07T19:00:34.233+02:002011-04-07T19:00:34.233+02:00With days like today and news of more unemployment...With days like today and news of more unemployment and double layoffs, I sometimes wonder if maybe my life would be better back home in America.Bite the bulletnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3332356.post-85851748220910973452011-04-07T15:05:55.861+02:002011-04-07T15:05:55.861+02:00Yes... but Zapatero is assisting in the dismantlin...Yes... but Zapatero is assisting in the dismantling of the European social model, even as you write letters like this. Merkel, Sarkozy, Cameron are all committed to the destruction of this hard-fought-for system in exchange for something much more like America's.<br /><br />So while I agree with the spirit of your letter, I don't have as much confidence that Europe is 'planning for its future', at least not in the way I would like.<br /><br />Still, thanks for sharing, and for the rest of your posts.Tomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06562902749398922096noreply@blogger.com
