In Love with Europe’s Sclerotic Charm

It’s not really a philosophy, it’s a deranged collection of irreverent impulses.

Many of President Obama's advisers want America to emulate Europe. That is, after all, where health care is free, where taxes are high but no one seems to complain, and where the brightest students go to work for the government because the private sector is simply disappearing.

The president's advisers are seeing their wishes come true. While the government is hiring, the private sector is losing millions of jobs rather than creating them.

You were warned – by decades of adolescents yelling “crash the system”. Well – there you have it.
