finally running out of other people’s money! No surprise there, you knew it had to happen someday…
Despite being full-throated advocates for “sustainability” when it comes to almost anything else, socialist welfare state types are committed to an economic system that simply cannot go on forever. In the immortal words of the late, great Margaret Thatcher: “The problem with socialism is that you eventually run out of other peoples’ money.” How long it is before “eventually” happens is entirely based on the habits of prevaricating, spendthrift politicians, obviously.
Germany is a great world power, and now it is finding out that it has feet of clay. Well, their socialist instincts have led their feet to turn into clay…
This stuff is just unsustainable. It can’t go on forever, so it won’t. The question is whether Germany can pull out of the “death spiral” soon enough to make things better for them, or whether they will just continue their journey down the Lefty toilet.
The same question is faced by England. And it’s the same question that every country who leans hard Left must eventually be confronted with. At some point you “hit the wall” and are ruthlessly faced with the unavoidable problems. Reality is quite unbending in that way…
You can fool many voters, and even successfully lie to and trick them. But you can’t escape the reality of the consequences of your actions. At some point the people realize that all the “happy talk” of fairies and unicorns is a pile of crap that was intended to fool them.
