I agree with Hound. It is generally good news and I truly wasn't trying to shoot the messenger, maybe just temper the message. There has been a lot of interesting chatter from various quarters in Europe telling us we are crazy to follow in their footsteps vis-a-vis socialism. What they know from experience is how hard it is to take a step back, let alone a complete retrenching, after the masses sell their souls to the government fantasy of everyone living at the expense of everyone else.

I think what scares the you-know-what out of Europe is they have basically funded their socialism because the U.S. has funded their national defense and spent trillions to defeat the USSR without firing a shot. Not only do they realize their economic fate is inexoriably tied to ours but if we abandon their defense in favor of domestic entitlements as Obama is doing they will suffer greatly either in terms of having to actually pay for their own defense (which they cannot afford) or risk all sorts of mischief making on the European continent from the east.

Either way they are screwed if we continue on our current disasterous course.
