Europe is close to being on the ropes. For years politicians on the left have declared Western Europe to be a socialist Shangri-La, while at the same time declaring America to be a hateful, bigoted, lumbering oaf with few redeeming qualities. The European Union was supposed to have supplanted or at least equaled the U.S. as the world economic powerhouse, with fluid or non-existent borders, generous social programs, and huge public employee rosters provided with generous salaries and benefits. The party is now over. Greece is essentially bankrupt, with Italy, Spain, and Ireland close behind, and now the continent is awash in Muslim immigrants looking for free social services and good paying jobs where there are none.
Interestingly, there are many left-leaning U.S. politicians who still see Western Europe as a role model for the U.S. and the poster child for the socialism they would like to see the U.S. adopt. It is becoming more and more apparent that socialism in Europe has been a dismal failure, and it cannot continue to receive the many immigrants pouring in across the borders. Europeans who criticized and denigrated the U.S. in years past now want the U.S. to save Europe and to send truckloads of dollars their way in order to save Europeans from themselves.
See who is demanding U.S. “investment” into Europe on page 2:

The United States citizens has funded 90% of the world in many instances and what do we have to show for it? Our nation so far in debt we’ll never recover. American citizens have suffered and are still suffering for giving too much & watching it squandered away by these well-fair-minded countries. They haven’t squandered it? Why are they in the condition that they are? Because of their bad judgment and decisions.
As a taxpayer and one who has suffered and struggled to make ends meet most of my life I don’t have to feel ashamed that I now say no to your begging and attempt to lay guilt.
I’ve paid enough taxes in my life to welfare-minded people and countries and so have millions of other Americans citizen. Its time for the world to take care of itself while we take care of ourselves and once we heal and are able to help then I’m OK with it.
