'Out-of-control state spending’
What happens when hairdressers and TV anchormen get to retire when they’re 50 or 55 because they allegedly work in “hazardous” jobs? Your country goes broke.
Remember this the next time someone says we need to be more like Europe. The entire continent is about to financially unravel. The U.S. isn’t far behind, especially here in Massachusetts.
Update -- John emails in: 'Speaking of Europe unravelling, did you see this piece in Der Spiegel?' I hadn't. The Germans aren't happy. Most of the EU members have been mooching off others for years. It was never sustainable.
