| justinian said: It always happens. In tough economic times people always want to protect "their own". In a few years I expect the same in the US with the red and blue states, although religion will also play a major part in this. |
The major difference between the US and Europe situation is the former is printing money how much they want, endlessly refunding debt and lowering rate, and they get away with that, while Europe is imposing various austerity programs on people and trying to dodge debt problems of it's members forcing aid programs on them. Why is that? Probably because US could afford that, while Europe is petty pygmy from political standpoint = there's no country behind the euro.
So I could agree about Europe's future more or less, but I'm not convinced about red and blue states (just don't take recent secession petitions seriously as well as entire American electorate).
UPD: On a side note, must admit I love the song :D
