Naked Socialism

You can't turn on a television these days without hearing some deluded leftoid ranting about how awesome Europe is and that we rubes in the U.S. are just backward country cousins who don't know when to acknowledge our betters. But there is perception (left) and then there's reality (not left). A clear-eyed analysis of median income adjusted for cost of living shows that Germany and Sweden -- typically held up as the economic powerhouse and socialist paradise of Europe, respectively -- would rank among the poorest of states if they were to join the United States, (which, of course, they will not be doing, because we have more sense than that).

Germany, in fact, would be dead last. Which gives you some idea of just how bad off the rest of Europe is.

And it will only get worse. The specter of neo-communist states like Greece continue exerting a drag on the Eurodollar, and the flood of Muslims invading the continent is doing nothing more than dumping more welfare dependents onto an already strained economy. At some point, the international banks are going to look at the Eurodollar, which has been in free-fall for the last couple of years, and realize it has become Monopoly money. With countries like Britain, and now possibly France, taking their toys and going home, it's only a matter of time until the whole Ponzi scheme comes tumbling down.

While it does provide a bit of schadenfreude, it's also very dangerous. Historically, economic collapse in Europe has resulted in some really nasty wars. Another major Continental war is the last thing the world needs right now, as such conflicts tend to be ignition points for world wars. It may, however, be a foregone conclusion at this point.

Thanks, socialists! You ignorant fucking dickbrains.
